My son is completing his WII program with a different pack, and they currently have what looks like a P1 Plus kit. Photos below.
What are some opinions of upgrade paths for this hardware?
can a K series chip be installed on that board without modification?
will such an addition give the capabilities of that K series chip?
it does not appear that a starting gate trigger was contemplated with this version - other than the switch itself, any possibility of this board being upgraded for accepting that component?
Once again, great to be amongst the Derby Gurus..

Re: Helping a new Pack
According to the Micro Wizard website:
Another option would be to tie the sensors and start switch of that timer into an Arduino board. See http://www.derbytalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6216
http://www.microwizard.com/k1page.htmlUpgrading the older P1 timers (PSU) will cost $ 75.00 because we have to physically retrofit the timer.
