Re: Home-built lap counter

Today I got the new Arduino code to be used with RaceCoordinator. Going to be an interesting weekend.
I'd probably have some footage to show tonight.

Re: what to use for a lap counting system

Hi All. Does any of your laptimers support refueling on Magracing ? If so, how does it work ? If not - any wishes for how it should work ? I'm thinking on using one sensor entering Pit-lane and a second one at exit. Then calculating time used in between. Of course some logic to truncate if on miss e...

Re: Home-built lap counter

I have had a 'talk' with guys at http://www.racecoordinator.net.

He was interested in incorporating MAGracing to their sw.
So now when I have my HW up and running I'll ask him how he's doing.

Thanks for your advice.

I did not have to use Putty, output came nicely on the Arduino Serial Monitor.

Re: Home-built lap counter

Please verify !

Have been trying your circuit without luck.

You specify : PNP transistor (BC547)

I have used BC547, but can only find it being a type NPN. (And not being able to find a PNP BC547 to buy either.)

Anyone else got it working ?

Re: Bru, ( ~Stavanger ) Norway

Thx Keld, Yes they do all work, even those very near corners. The hard ones to catch are those coming out of a turn with counter-steer, then there are no more 'turn' to steer away from the current line. So at those places I need to have finished my turn, entering straight on the LC. It is just take ...
