| Hi Guy, We are running a 6-lane Carrera track with a Dontronics box to control trackpower, and DS-300 boxes and lightbridge - no problems there. We would like to take full advantage of the fuel management system. We have been playing a bit around with the settings, and can't really seem to get it to work the way we want it  The major question is: How does the system know that a car has pitted to re-fuel? Do we just need to add the Phidgetboards as sold by our good friend Les in Pennsylvania, and then pitstops are detected and the car re-fueled, or is there more to it. Best regards, Henrik Vikings Scaleracing Club www.scaleracing.dk | |

| Hi henrik, Yes i think Phidget interface kit is the best solution for that , for exemple you can use a push button connected to Phidget interface to ask a refueling (pit in) and if you press again the push button it will stop refueling (pit out). What you need for that: Phidget interface kit 8/8/8 or 0/16/16 and a push button for each lane, i suggest you consult your Phidget reseller (Main line hobbies) to know which interface kit you exactly need because 8/8/8 have analogic input , 0/16/16 have only digital input and i don't know if you can connect push button to analogic or/and digital input.  guy | |
