Backyard luge race timing system

lugeracertimer's Issues

Add knobs to potentiometers

Purchase knobs to fit the sensor calibration pots

Sometimes trap sensor is triggered with nothing connected

Which results in an inaccurate speed displaying when there should be none.

I've only seen this issue on my breadboard timer. Nothing is hooked up to the analog input pin for the trap sensor (no photocell, pot voltage divider, etc)

Merge unactive luge timer branches back to master

Also, create releases / milestones for race years / versions used

Add white/clear LEDs to timer console

To ease in seeing controls for after-hours racing

Digital Pot for sensor calibration?

Could we use one to auto-calibrate the sensors around 2.5V?

Validate parts list file

Did I miss anything?
Haven't finished adding links to the sparkfun stuff

Single board: why do buzzers just click now?

Footage next year

Need to fully capture (video) of timing system in action

• start lights, usage of main box, sensor tripping, etc.

Of track:

• Better drone footage overhead
• Timelapse of track being dug
• Full timelapse of race (need good low-light camera setup)

Of racers:
Hang 2 GoPros from cable-cam? So we capture racer coming and going?

Add all previous version of timer code as branches to this repository

need to search documents / code folders for older versions (two box version, etc

Test Epic

This is my epic

Replace broken red xmas tree light

verify timing with shift register implementation

Shouldn't have messed anything up, but double-check

Add datasheets for components to repository

Laser cut new top for timer box

Ryan has a new design in mind

• smaller opening for 7-segment display rather than previous LCD
• 2 voltmeter openings (one for each finish-line sensor)

Remove User Selection Pot from code

// LCD user interface selector potentiometer

Add ability to reset while timer is running

Explore 3:8 decoder rather than shift register

for controlling xmas tree

Add LED scroller code to repository as well

Wire up voltmeter to pots for second sensor

Do we need another voltmeter?
