I don’t own one but from what I’ve read of other people talking about theirs it can’t differentiate between cars, I’m guessing it uses an infra-red beam between the main unit and a reflector to just sense when anything goes between them.
I’ve been thinking about making a lap counter using my old Psion Organiser II as it’s fully programmable and I just recently found some code to be able to read the top slot connector, but you’d have to have separate lanes for the cars to go through to increase their lap count because it’s impossible to differentiate between the cars.
I gather they use transponders of some sort for 1/10 RC car races? we could do with some miniture ones.
