Skating Lap Counter is a project to automate counting laps skated on a derby track.

Project Status

  • 2014-06-28: Started putting idea together, designed transmitter BOM/schematic, started working on PCB layout. 5 airwires left.

Architecture

  • Small module that attaches to one skate
    • IR emitter, microcontroller, and battery
    • When switched on, transmits a code repeatedly
    • Rechargable via USB
  • Base unit with an IR receiver and display
    • Shows how many times each skate module has passed by
