CHEAP & EASY lap counter for every ANALOG SLOT CAR TRACK with PIT STOPS

[@SmartRace]

Thanks for watching guys and happy that many of you like the analog mode so much! For the analog mode you need: - SmartRace app (one-off approx. €10) - SmartRace Connect Server add-on (approx. €4 one-off) You do not need a subscription to use the analog mode!

[@SlotCarDojo]

What you have done with this app has been a huge game changer. Thanks for all you have done.

[@twolinesslotcars]

I use it like this everyday!!! Great implementation.

[@larrycurrence6874]

I have it now too Marty!

[@MF-tt4pf]

I love this app! I use the app in Analog mode and have experienced a lot of false detections. The sensitivity feature you demonstrated is exactly what I needed to improve the experience. Thanks for the great work!.

[@Roland_Rohrle]

Fantastic! Thank you for continuously updating Smart Race and supporting the app so well. All the best Roland Sydney Australia

[@TojuRacing-ry4cf]

Just picked up the app! Love it. Gave you a sub! Race On!

[@SmartRace]

Thank you, glad you like it! 😊👍

[@Area51racewayNC]

Love this feature! Thanks again!!

[@watpub4906]

Brilliant implementation. I was wondering what to do for analogue cars on Carrera and this has answered all my questions. Keep up the great work.

[@KF-hb5vx]

Omg this is amazing. Thanks so much

[@SmartRace]

Thank you! Happy that you like it 🙂

[@slotcardude68]

Super erklärt! Tolles Produkt, danke!

[@thatslotcarguy]

Great video mate

[@SmartRace]

Thank you Travis!

[@rookieracer911]

Great program. Well worth the price.

[@SmartRace]

Thank you very much!

[@ThinkScalextric]

Didn’t know your app was out there will check it out tomorrow 👍👍

[@SmartRace]

Great! Let me know if you have any questions. Always glad to help :-)

[@keithfilkins2043]

Great video, thank you!

[@EdduVanHalen]

Legal isso aí. Abraço aqui do Brasil.

[@mindlifehypnosis4674]

Saw there were a few versions of Smartrace - which would you recommend for a 4 lane AFX H O layout.

[@SmartRace]

The analog mode, which you'll need for your AFX track, is included in SmartRace for Carrera Digital: www.smartrace.de/en/analog/

[@MoonDogSlotCarRacing]

hello! I am excited about this analog mode for use on an 1/64th scale 3 lane routed VIPER SCALE RACING track I have. it's a small track, 3'x6' with only 3 lanes, HO spacing. I run cars from Aurora TJETS, AFX, G+, SuperG+ Mega G, Mega G+ Viper, DASH, AW, etc. my question is, I have only an iPhone 14 pro max and a Steam Deck that I could use for this at this time. Can I run the SmartRace server on the Steam Deck and the SmartRace connect on the iPhone?

[@SmartRace]

SmartRace Connect on the iPhone will of course work, but I don't think the Steam Deck will. Does it run Android? I'm not too familiar with this device. 😞

[@MoonDogSlotCarRacing]

@@SmartRace ok. I was not sure if it was limited to only Android and iPhone. I will see if I can find a cheap used iPad for the server side. Thank you.

[@timhoffmann1806]

Super was Du da mit der App geschaffen hast. Zählt die App nur die Runden/Zeiten oder kann ich auch ein Rennen inkl. Pitfunktion verwenden? Wie Funktioniert die Pitfunktion generell - via Zufallsprinzip; oder ist da eine Logik dahinter, z.b dass der Spritverbrauch/Standzeit je nach Zeit der gefahren Runden bestimmt wird? Schnellere Rundenzeiten, mehr Verbrauch. Man könnte auch vielleicht sowas wie Wetter simulieren, dass man z.b eine Runde nicht unter doppelter Durchschnittszeit fahren darf und erst ab PIT Regenreifen hat und dann wieder normale Zeiten fährt.

[@SmartRace]

Servus Tim, Du kannst im Analogmodus die Rundenzeitbasierte Spritsimulation nutzen (Add-On). Der Verbrauch wird anhand der Rundenzeit bestimmt und die Dauer des Nachtankens kannst Du selbst festlegen. Viele Grüße, Marc

[@MoonDogSlotCarRacing]

I have SmartRace up and running on my 1/64th 3-lane 3x6' Viper Scale Racing track. I somehow thought I had to purchase the subscription to get analog mode working, but ok, I already paid so I'll do that for year 1, IDK how I missed that i just needed the $11 and $4 add on, didn't see that option in the app when I was getting it all setup. (yet I see it here in your pinned comment) I want to free up my main iPhone that's currently being used for the sensor, connecting to an iPad Mini I am using for the server and race control etc. I really want just a cheap phone with enough power to be the sensor and send the data to the server, with magsafe QI charging so I can lock it onto the charger stand, have it anchored nicely and angle it etc. What is the cheapest used phone I can get away with for this? hoping for something in the $50 range if possible.

[@SmartRace]

I can't really give you a very qualified opinion on which device you should get. What I can tell you is that I use a Samsung Galaxy S8 with no problems with up to 6 lanes. I don't think you can get it for $50 yet, but maybe not too far off. But I'm sure there are many cheaper devices which will also work without any problem. I just can't point you to a specific one. I'm sorry. 😞

[@gerryno6328]

👍….awesome!

[@twolinesslotcars]

I did not know that the sensitivity setting was available

[@viniengel]

I love the smart racer app, but I am moving away from carerra digital because I just can’t have as much fun with digital. My question is is there a way to use a single iPad without a smart racer connect on another device? This is just to complicated for the kids to use. If I can have one iPad pointing it’s camera to the track it would be much easier.

[@SmartRace]

That's not possible, I'm sorry. 😞

[@maxgunther7444]

Wie hast du die weißen Striche von den Schienen ab bekommen?

[@SmartRace]

Mit schwarzer Sprühfarbe (Autolack) übersprüht. 👍

[@maxgunther7444]

@@SmartRace Super danke :) die Bahn sieht wirklich klasse aus! Schön clean und trotzdem mit realen vorbildern ausgestattet. Das alte 24h NBR design der Pitlane gefällt mir auch!

[@JaxsonSobol]

Just wondering how I can get this feature with the scx app it doesn’t appear as an option to me.

[@SmartRace]

The Analog Mode is only available in SmartRace for Carrera Digital, not in SmartRace for SCX Advance. Hope this helps.

[@JaxsonSobol]

Will it ever be added to the scx app as I would like to keep everything in one app?

[@SmartRace]

@@JaxsonSobol I don't think so at the moment. 😞

[@roly5250]

Cool 😘👍👋🇨🇭

[@JDL_2020]

Sadly it will not work with my older Ipad and Iphone 7 bought around the same time. I assume the ipad does not have bluetooth 4. And my Dell laptop is windows 10. My android phone will not pair with the iphone either even though they detect each other.

[@SmartRace]

You won't need bluetooth for the analog mode, only wifi. And your Android device should also pair with your iOS device (and vice versa). Please contact me anytime at [e-mail] and I'll try to assist you with everything. Marc

[@gerryno6328]

….“tripod“…..(with d of course 😉)

[@Frankietomatoes6189]

Pit lane doesn't work properly for me. I just can't seem to trigger pitlane. Any ideas? Thanks

[@SmartRace]

did you make sure to save the still images using the menu on the bottom right?

[@Frankietomatoes6189]

Thank you, ok I have an issue after using analog mode. Now smart race only recognizes only one lane, funny it was the same lane I was running analog. How do I get smart race to lap count on both lanes on digital? As I mentioned only reads laps on one lane. Thanks

[@SmartRace]

Please contact me at [e-mail] and I'll take a look@@Frankietomatoes6189 - thank you!

[@Frankietomatoes6189]

​@SmartRace I figured it out, was not the app. Thank-you for always replying. The issue was the sensor in the track, it actually came away from the track. Scotch tape was only tape holding in place. Keep up great support

[@SmartRace]

@@Frankietomatoes6189 great that you could solve it 🙂

[@RomanBuchok]

Will this work for HO scale tracks?

[@SmartRace]

Yes, it will and it does 🙂

[@Clearwater124]

I cannot get my phone to connect.

[@SmartRace]

Just email me to [e-mail] so we can sort this out. 🙂
