Pitstop Problem

Hi, new user trying out the software.

I have webcam set up for pitstop as per instructions usiing ZOne Trigger Pro 2.3

Entry into pit is detected and car is refuelled
PCLC says GO
When I do go the green GO flag is still up, the next lap does not count since the software still thinks I'm in the pits.
If I go back into pits it is detected and the green Go flag goes away and I can continue (even though I am actually parked in the pits!)

Can you advise what I am doing wrong with the setup

Should I have a big hot zones for pitstop or small ones?
Does big or small make a difference for the lap counter zone also?

Regards
PM

Hello,

Have you follow this setup ? : http://www.pclapcounter.be/webcam_pitstop.html

1 - Add a Spot to detect pit stop
2 - It’s a Single pattern Spot (available only with zonetrigger pro version)
3 - Click ‘set’ to take a picture of the place without car
4 - The spot will run the program pitstop.exe
5 - Specify the program name to execute and the lane number
6 - The spot have to execute the program only when the car stay on the zone during 2 seconds

Yes, as mentioned in the first post, I followed the directions on the website.
It certainly recognises that the car in in pit. But does not recognise that it has left until I do another lap and actually park in pits again.

Maybe i don't have the same version of zone trigger, i will check tonight.

Can you advise if there is an optimum SIZE or SHAPE of the hot zone for either the lap counter or pitzone?

About optimum size : i take the default size.
About pitstop problem: i test it with zone trigger 2.3 and it's working fine like version 2.0: when the car enter into the spot for 2 seconds then the spot is blue and zonetrigger run the pitstop.exe program , when the car leave the spot then after 2 seconds the spot is blue again and zonetrigger run pitstop.exe (and PCLC generate a pit out event).
I think you should refresh the reference picture of the single pattern.

I have reset the pattern 10000 times with no change to the problem. The thing I could not figure out was the other lane was working as advertised. But the other lane was as described - even though all settings were the same - and the pattern was updated (without car) regularly
I tried many different sizes, shapes, sensitivities etc etc
Eventually it dawned on me to delete the problem hotzone and make another one.
Now both lanes are working properly - go figure............

BTW I have now just bought the program

Would it be fair to say that the accuracy of time be dependant on the framerate of the camera - ie 30fps = accurate to within 1/30 second, and no more?
