Hi - I am new to this so please bear with me - I was searching for some electronic equipment to use to perform a split time function in Curling. (big rocks played on ICE) (olympic sport)
So - I spottted your thread and here we go.
I need to develop a piece of kit that involves a couple of light (ir) beams or similar set up across an Ice sheet (about 4m). The player delivers a stone from one end of the ice and as the stone breaks the first beam a timer starts, then breaking the second beam (some 8M later) - timer stops. The readout is the 'split time' and needs accuracy to 0.01 seconds. - This gives feedback to the player on the 'weight' (or delivery) of the delivered stone.
Your ongoing projecft seems perfect !! - only thing is Im no electronics guy.
Any advice, component lists, drawings etc. - could be a big thing - current devices I have seen are all bespoke and very expensive
Regards
