Hey all. So I had this little project in mind. I just wanted to measure the speed of an object as it breaks two laser beams. Well I dont know anything about Arduino coding, so instead of pretending I did, or coming here bothering everyone on this forum for help, I decided to just pay someone on Fiverr to write the code for me. Anyways the code I got does not work and the guy bailed out on me. The code is only 15 lines or so. Would anybody be willing to take a look at it to see if its a simple fix?

Everything seems to be working except the readout is always 0.00

But it does do what its supposed to when the beams are broken as far as I can tell. I'm just using an Uno with 2 lasers and 2 receivers.

If someone says they'll take a look i'll post the code.

That's what Fiverr is for, isn't it? Problem is: why hsould somebody take a look at a code and fix it for free if another person was payed to write the code?

Just post the code and let anyone take a look who cares to.
Please post the code inside of code tags: use the </> button in the post editor to surround the code, or in the Arduino IDE go to Edit -> Copy for forum and paste inside your post.
A photograph showing how everything is connected may also be useful.

Well, it probably is a simple fix, since what you're asking for is pretty simple. So go ahead and post your code.

But why not go to the same guy and offer him more than $5 to get it working and "make the problem go away."

As well as the code, also supply a schematic and state what laser / receiver modules you are using.
