Hi Colin : I managed to build your track timer. It was working for a while but the the time has stop working The clock will not run when in sprint/ manual mode. Also when in lap the clock will run but the lap time will count without any anything passing the sensor. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Many thanks. Lincoln

Hi Lincoln, usually when this happens it means the two modules are not correctly connected to each other. Make sure the start module is receiving numbers (distance in cm)

Collin, I wasn't able to find the parts list in the link from a few years ago. Is it still available? I think my boys might enjoy making one of these.

Yes! Sadly the Arduino page hasn't been working for a while but the project and parts are still up on Hackster www.hackster.io/collin-w/easy-and-affordable-track-timing-system-dcc6f9

Ciao ho ripreso in mano questo progetto, e secondo me hai fatto un errore nello schema, stai alimentando NRF24L01 a 5V, questo modulo va alimentato a 3,3V non a 5V come scrivi tu.
@CollinWentzien 2 ай бұрын
Hi! The nRF24L01 module I used has a converter built in to decrease the voltage from 5V to 3v3. However, if yours doesn't have that converter then I would suggest running it straight off of the arduino's 3v3 rail.

Hi Collin, congratulations, thanks for sharing the project. In your opinion, is it possible to do a similar project using infrared sensor (E18-D80NK)?
@CollinWentzien 3 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yes you can use that sensor however be aware that its range only goes up to 80 cm or .8 meters, which is slightly less than three feet. Keep that in mind as it will work for running right next to the sensor but not for the further out lanes

Hello! I was just searching for a solution to support my daugthers sprint training, and I found this, after I went into the readymade solutions starting at 500 Euro…so I am not sure if I can really assemble this, but is it able to get some assembled one from you? Moreover I could not find the project on the Arduino page any more….So, getting an assembled version would be great! And maybe there are other parts available now? I really likt the idea, that you also have a sound that links to reaction speed…one could also think to place two of them along the track to record e.g. speed between 10 and 30 meters? Thank you! Best! Andreas

Is there any delay between the two modules, and if there is, how much? In case you reply and there is some delay, how could I fix this?
@CollinWentzien 10 ай бұрын
Hi! To be completely honest, I did not get an exact number for delay, but I did do some eyeballing and it seems to be pretty much instant. If you wanted to fix some delay, I'd have the modules run a test when first powered on to send a packet and see how long it takes to receive the packet. In my opinion, the lack of a RTC module is more inaccurate than the potential delay haha

Hello i would like to buld one if these but with 2 sensors one at the start and one at the finish. Start laser begins the timer and finish laser stops the timer. I can achieve all the hardware soldering and such but what kind of code would i need for that to work? And would multiple 2.4ghz tranmitters interfere with each other if i wanted to run 2 systems next to each other? Thanks!
@CollinWentzien Жыл бұрын
Hello! 1. Yes you can totally use two LIDAR modules in tandem. Just copy some of the code from the finish module that processes the LIDAR information over to the start module code and it should work. 2. As long as you set the two module pairs at different frequencies, they won't interfere. This is done in the beginning of the code on both modules at the line "const byte addr[6] = "00001";" Simply change "00001" to "00002" or a different number and the modules shouldn't interfere. Hope this helps!

The 1.3" OLED Screen we have (and the one liked in your "Things used in this project") only has 4 pins. GND, VCC, SCL and SDA. In your diagram you have MOSI, CLK, DC, RST, CS, VIN and GND. The VIN and GND are obvious, but what about the other pins? Any help on connecting the 4 PIN OLED woud really be appreciated. Thank you
@CollinWentzien Жыл бұрын
I must have linked the wrong OLED screen :(. Good news though is that it should still work! The screen I used uses an interface called SPI, while your screen uses an interface called I2C. Both operate off of (pretty much) the same driver so you shouldn't have to do much modification to the code. All you need to do is change the way the screen is initialized, that is, the line that reads "Adafruit_SH1106 tft(OLED_MOSI, OLED_CLK, OLED_DC, OLED_RESET, OLED_CS);" Change it to something shown in a video showcasing how to use I2C OLED screens with Arduino like this one ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXynaKahotqmirM&ab_channel=MissionCritical ) and it should work

Hi Kian, it's been a while since I've worked on this but I believe the font sizes were 9 and 14. If not I'd just play around with the font sizes on FontConvert as anything that isn't the right size will look different than what is shown in the video. Let me know if you need more help
