Minimal Hardware Design Solutions

The “Minimal Hardware” design solution is a simple yet very practical design that provides the features needed to conduct a successful race event. This design keeps it simple by using race management software running on your PC to control the race timer and display race results. Since it does not use numeric displays the hardware is kept to a minimum, greatly simplifying the build process and keeping costs down. The download packet has everything you need for your project including a schematic diagram, parts list, design notes, the Arduino software source code and software installation instructions.
This “Minimal Hardware” design is available as a free download and comes configured to operate in one of four race management software packages as follows:
  • Option 1: Authors' race management/display software (See image below) - Is supplied free with the download and provides for timer control and display of race results on your PC.
  • Option 2: GrandPrix Race Manager by Lisano Enterprises (http://grandprix-software-central.com) - Must be purchased by the end user. This is the most popular and widely used race manager by Scouting & AWANA groups. Has all the features needed to prepare for and conduct your race event.
  • Option 3: DerbyNet Race Manager by Jeff Piazza (http://jeffpiazza.github.io/derbynet/) (Free download) - Network based allowing multiple platforms to log in and access race rosters, race results, standings and more.
  • Option 4: Pinewood Master™ Race Management Software by Marc Speth for Apple MAC (http://www.pinewoodmaster.com/index.html).
