Hello,
I have a 1/32 scale analog 2-lane slot car track. It has a pit lane, power is 12-18 volts dc.
I want to create a circuit that counts how many times a car stops in its pit box and counts how much time
the car remains stationary in the pits.
The circuit is will be independent by itself. Except for input voltage.
The driver needs to be able to select pre-race how many pit stops he does before the race, 0-5, each lane may
select different options. It cannot change after race starts. This setting will change each race based on handicap.
Each driver needs to be able to select how many seconds he spends in the pit box stopped cumulative time
between 0-60 seconds.This setting will change each race based on handicap.
Single photocell in each pit box to trigger counter and timer.
For each lane, LED display for stops still required based on pre-race selected pit stops. Counts down.
For each lane, LED display for how much time still required to be stationary in pit box from pre-race time selection.
Counts down.
EXAMPLE: Red Lane pre-race selects 3 pit stops, Blue Lane selects 2 pit stops. Based on car handicaps, Red lane car
needs to spend 16.5 seconds stationary in pit box during race, Blue lane car needs to spend 9.2 seconds stationary in pit
box during race.
Thank you for your help!
