Re: RaceReplay Question

Randy, Thanks for the reply. There was no error log file under that directory, so I assume that no errors were generated. My Dazzle D90 is plugged directly into the USB port and does show up in RaceReplay. The program allows me to select it as an input device. It could be the stuff under the advance...

RaceReplay Question

I tried the demo version of RaceReplay. It runs and all the screens and menus work, but all I get is a blank window when I try to do live preview or video capture. Has anyone else run into this? I don't have a firewire capable camera, so I'm using a Dazzle video capture unit. Is video display disabl...

Re: Built My Own Track

Our 3 lane track uses the same cleat method to connect the track pieces except we do not have the sheet metal plate (shown as "H1" in the plans). Does this plate seem to help alignment at all?

Re: Timer Schematic, any thoughts Laser Pointer

Interesting - I'm building a finish line gate and had the exact same thing happen. It worked at above 5 or so inches out in the open on my bench, but not reliable at 6 inches. When I imbeded the sensors in the track and the LEDs in the bridge, my range dropped down to 2 inches or so. Swapping out fo...

need scheduling method for small group

During our pwd we run an "open" competition during break for the parents and siblings. This usually is about 10 cars. Last year the scheduling method we used resulted in my "block-o-wood" (really is a block of wood with wheels that I use to test the track setup prior to racing) c...
