This is the code and notes repository for a Pinewood Derby timer I am building based on the Arduino Pro Mini board.
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
This timer is intended to replace our pack's existing, outdated timer system. We are part of Pack 317 in Concord, CA and were quoted in excess of $500 for a new timer setup. I think I can build a better one for less than $100 (not including labor, which I'm, of course, donating).
The features for this should include:
- Independent timing on four tracks
- Actual times in ms recorded and maintained for the last five races
- Interface with our existing timer output and sensors
- WiFi access point through ESP8266 to provide a better interface through a laptop
