PCLapcounter and phidget wiring help

[cantstopnow]

It this is in wrong place feel free to move it. So as I rebuild my track I would like to use all the stuff that pclapcounter can do. Mostly the pit and fuel features, so I need to add a light bridge and phidget board. I have searched for wiring information on phidget boards and am getting more confused than anything else. Anyone out there that has any experience with this stuff that might be able to be "on call" for help. This stuff is a bit pricey for the old "wire it and see" method....lol

John,

I am familiar with Phidgets, but not pclapcounter. I assume that you are looking to connect your IR sensors through digital channels on one of the Phidget control boards. That is fairly straight forward. This pclapcounter page (http://pclapcounter.winnerbb.net/t265-s ... et-0-16-16) has a nice diagram. As long as you stick with 5V, the Phidgets are pretty forgiving. The only issues I have had with them were burning out a channel or two on a motor drive board. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
