Hardware Remote
Hardware Remote Control (CYD)
The OpenPiste hardware remote is a dedicated physical controller for the scoring device, built around the Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) — an inexpensive ESP32 development board with an integrated touchscreen display.

Why a dedicated hardware remote?
The mobile app covers most use cases. The hardware remote exists for environments where a dedicated physical device is preferred — venues without reliable phone access, officials who prefer a standalone controller, or situations where a fixed, always-on display adds value at the piste.
The CYD board is widely available and very affordable, keeping the overall cost of the platform low.
