Could this be used / adapted as a rally stage timer or is that your next evolution project so it would be possible to have a overall and sector /stage times for up to 6 sectors per stage

Hi Bob,
I’ll pass your comments to the designer/builder Chris Jelfs as he may already have some plans in mind.
thank you very much
Cheers Bob
I have built this exactly to the instructions but the laps count up when the leds are lighting the ldrs and only stop counting up when the light is removed. It seems like its working the opposite way.
can you please help as I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure out what’s wrong
Hi Steve, I have passed your query to the Chris Jelfs who designed and built the counter/timer, and asked him to respond.
