The latest versions of the 'How-to' instructions, hardware designs and all necessary software, incorporating any recent tweaks and add-ons, for the FSR2 analogue system Lap Counter/Timer are in the attached file FSR2_Project_v2-21.zip This zip file only includes an installation of the FSR2 version of the FSR website. Latest versions of FSR2 and FSR6 project files With the sound effects add-on it means that the sound files will be 'local' and don't need to be served over the network either, lightening the load on the Pi even more. This avoids the need for the Raspberry Pi to actually host the website as well as detecting and timing the cars. Note also that any of the FSR websites can be operated simply by placing the FSRx.html file and the sub-directories into a directory on a PC and clicking on the FSRx.html file. FSR6D, a six car display with the same 'seven-segment' font.Īny of the websites can be used with any of the hardware versions, but of course, if you're running 5 or 6 cars you'll need to use the FSR6D version to see their stats!.FSR4D, a four car display with a 'seven-segment' font display to emulate a hardware display and.

FSR4, the four car display used on the original version of the hardware.FSR2, for two car lap counting - mainly for the analogue application.There are now four different versions of the FSR website: The 4-car version described at the beginning of this thread is now considered as a 'legacy' version and anyone interested in trying their hand a building an FSR system is encouraged to use the later FSR6 version instructions. an 'analogue' version that detects the car's steering blades.There have now been three versions of the hardware that all operate on only a two slot track layout: I was thinking recently that all these different files attached to my posts must be getting confusing, even for those who are using the system, so I'll explain. The original version was 'rushed' out and a couple of annoying 'mis-features' were detected later. NB Note that this is version 3 of this 'patch'.

wav sound effects for current users to update their systems.įull instructions for installing the new files are in an included README document. The attached zip file has the necessary edited files and. play a victory cheer as the winner crosses the finishing line.Ī new option in the SETUP panel allows selection of either a 'GT' or an 'F1' car sound (the old v10 one) or neither. play a passing car sound as the cars pass the detector

add beeping sounds to the starting lights (with a different tone for 'lights out') These modifications will produce the following sound effects: I spent an afternoon tweaking the code to add this feature to the system and have to agree, it's quite fun! Sound effects add-on for the Formula Slotcar Racing system.Ī forum member suggested the FSR system might be enhanced by the addition of some sound effects. The attached zip file contains a "How to" document, full circuit design and component list, PCB layout and image for home manufacture (plus Gerber files), assembly and hex code for the PICs, Python code for the Pi and HTML and JavaScript for the webpage. It makes the racing much more exciting to have the timing details and will completely stop any arguing about how many laps each car has completed!

Users can upload pictures of their cars and the drivers to the website and can select these on the scoreboard before each race.

Since there's no laptop (with its keyboard) in this arrangement, a keyboard and mouse are needed to make the configuration settings such as: driver names, car selection, number of laps and so on. In this case it is necessary to use a Pi 3A+ instead of the Pi Zero as the Chromium web browser needs a lot of processing power. There are two possible configurations of the system as it is also possible to plug a TV via an HDMI cable directly to the Pi and view the scoreboard by running the web browser on the Pi as well, avoiding the need for a laptop.
