So, I'm a programmer but know nothing about electronic engineering. I have developed scoring and results software for the sport of Dog Agility but need to take this a step further and integrate a timing solution. This would involve a simple light curtain design. I have a 'theoretical' design but have no idea how to turn this into an actual working system.
Any suggestions about how I find a 'volunteer' to help achieve this. I have a small budget, but this is a hobby sport so funds are very limited. Ideally I would like to find a retired or hobby designer who is looking for a fun project. All materials and costs would be paid plus a little beer money. If they are based in the South West of England and have a dog then so much the better.
Apologies if this is a bit off topic, but I had no idea where to start.
