Pitlane debug

Dear Guy,

I stopped using my track for a while and when I tried to start racing again I found out that my pitlane / PCLC interface stopped working.

I just can´t figure out why.

Here´s the interface image so you can see the error messages I´m getting.



Here is the pitlane debug file:

One important information: when the car enters the pitalane, the "ERROR: 1001 ComEventBreak" starts to happen  and it only stops after the car exits the pitlane. So it tells me the multilane sensor is somehow telling PCLC the car entered and exited the pitlane, but PCLC is not handling this information the way it should.

Another information: I have a spare RighG Cable. I tried the other one and the error is the same. It ´s not impossible, but I don´t think both cables are broken.

Please, help.

Thank you..

Guy, help me. Please!

Hello,

Your multilane sensor always send '00' and this is not correct , i think your multilane sensor is broken.
You can check the data sent by your multilane by using the tools COM PORT TOOLKIT 4.0 (http://www.compt.ru/serial-port-monitor/en/download.php) or another tools that can read data from a com port.
Use this parameter :
Baud rate = 1200
Data 7
Parity= No
Stop bit = 1
Flow control = N

Best rEgards.

Hi Guy. Thanx for trying to help.

I tried another multilane sensor board and the results were the same.

I installed the com port monitor you suggested and I could not make it work. What mode should I use? Terminal, capture or listen?
I tried all 3 and no signal was received. Not even the 00 00 00 sequence I got in PCLC pitlane debug window.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank u.

You should use mode Terminal and set the port like this:



and when a car enter into the pitlane you should see something like this:
