hi all
Got my set running but having issues with certain cars not counting laps with the stock Carrera mechanical lap counter.
been looking at using a laptop and freeware lap counting software. I pulled apart a USB keyboard and brought out the #1 and #2 key leads and gnd. I figure use a deadstrip trip pad for the trigger. Instead of modifying a straight track, why not use a junction which hast two open rails?
All you need is to close the switch and it triggers lane 1 as a 1 key and lane 2 as a 2 key press.
Thoughts.
