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...

Phidget 0/0/4 can't be used for detection (phidget 0/0/4 have only output port), for detection you have to use the Phidget 0/16/16.
Here is a schema to connect sensor to the phidget 0/16/16:https://pclapcounter.forumotion.com/phidgets-interface-kit-f14/schema-to-connect-detector-to-phidget-0-16-16-t265.htm

For your information Pc Lap Counter is compatible with trackmake, more information here: http://www.pclapcounter.be/trackmate.html

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....

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

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.

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?

nhdungeonracer,
If you intend to turn individual lane power or all lane power On/Off for up to 4-lanes, the Phidget 0/0/4 is better suited for the task than the Phidget 0/16/16 alone.

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.
