ENHANCED RC TIMER (Free Download)
(New Version Released on: 4/29/2023) The enhanced PC controlled drag race timer design for a 2-lane 1/10 scale RC drag race timer is now available. Enhanced features over the basic version include:
1. Pre-Stage & Stage Sensors: Positioned at the start line 2. Guard Sensors: Positioned just forward of the start line 3. 6 Foot Sensors: Positioned 6 feet down track from the start line 4. 66 Foot Sensors: Positioned 66 feet down track from the start line 5. Trap Sensors: Positioned 5.28 feet (2m for Km/h) prior to the finish line 6. Finish Line Sensors: Positioned at the finish line (132 Ft). An Arduino MEGA micro-controller board is used in this design and provides the interfaces to the optical lane sensors, Christmas tree and hand-held race start switch and executes the software that drives the Christmas tree lights, monitors the track sensors, performs the timing and sends the race results and track status to the PC for display and post-race processing. Race management software running on the PC provides display of the race start reaction time, trap speed, 6 & 66 Foot time, elapsed time, overall time (elapsed time + reaction time) and racer’s status (win, disqualified, breakout). Display of racer ID numbers and dial-in times is also provided. An optional thermal receipt printer provides hardcopy Time Slips for the race participants.
