Some success

Adjusting the read rate for the USB port resulted in an acceptable delay. Time to order some more reed switches!

Interface box responds too slowly

Monostable tried, but time constant not long enough - still pulse not detected. In bistable mode pulse is detected, but interface box is so slow that the car does 3/4 of a lap before it reacts!!!

Reed switch sensor experiment

Triggered  by magnet on car, but pulse too quick for interface box.

Computer Controlled Car Racing Progress

Initial experiments show that the interface box has sufficient power to drive the cars. Now for the postion sensors.
