| Is there a wiring diagram for using the Phidget 0/0/4?
Or should I have purchased one of the other Phidget boards?
I am currently running PCLC using a TrakMate board, but would like to remove it and use the Phidget 0/0/4 in it's place...
I'm using a light bridge and Radio Shack phototransistors... | |

| Ok, if the 0/0/4 board can't be used, then why do you have it pictured on the Phidget page? And on that page, it says.... - Quote :
- You can use all of this Phidget interface kit with Pc Lap Counter for car detection, pitstop detection, lane power, starting lights and track call (maximum 4 Phidget interface kit can be connected).
The above led me to think that the 0/0/4 board would work... I know I can use the Trakmate board with PCLC (I'm currently doing this)... I'm hoping to remove the Trakmate board to another track, so I need to replace it... | |

Because you can use it to control lanes power and/or starting lights, and when you click on the picture and read the specification you will see that the 0/0/4 have 4 digital output and NO digital input and therefore you can't connect sensor to that board - nhdungeonracer wrote:

Yes, at least one guy think that the 0/0/4 board can be used to detect laps so other can think like you and so i will change that sentence. - nhdungeonracer wrote:
Now I have to go and buy another one... Not happy here...
Sad you didn't read the phidget 0/0/4 specification. | |

So do I still need the 0/0/4 board? Or will the 0/16/16 board control lane power and/or starting lights, along with detection? | |

The Phidget 0/0/4 has built-in power relays - each capable of switching a maximum voltage of 100V DC & 5A current. The Phidget 0/16/16, on the other hand, does NOT have built-in power relays. This Phidget uses digital switches rated at a maximum 30V DC & 2A current. The Phidget 0/16/16 is well suited for lap timing using its digital inputs, and for using its digital outputs to turn on/off low-power L.E.D. starting lights, and triggering external power relays. Do NOT use the Phidget 0/16/16 digital outputs for directly turning on/off your lane power.Instead, either use your Phidget 0/0/4 in conjunction with a Phidget 0/16/16 for turning on/off lane power, or buy an external power relay(s) and control the power relay(s) with your Phidget 0/16/16 digital outputs. Hope this helps. Regards, Foiler in MI | |
