From everything I have read the USB to serial is the best connection. My computers definitely do not have serial ports.


The cars that stopped counting were nitro buggy and e buggy. 4wd was fine.

Yeah the signal strengths should be at least 60 above the noise levels.

I knew it every once in awhile the computer would just say 7 or 9 when i cam across the line, 35's were picking up like no problem but some of the laps were just weird off the wall numbers. I remember you said you you changed the minimum lap time when i asked. I had alot of double laps to sunday, like 69 70 71 second laps.

Jason I was at awesome 2weeks ago and Homer said , Kash you never picked up at the loop. I went to xrc sat never missed a lap went to G's missed many laps and had double laps. I am running the Castle BEC @ 7.4 votls for my reciver, servo and transponder. I learned years ago that running electric and really banging the gas the brown out occurs way to frequently so i have been using the bec for years now and I was still missing laps at Homers and G's.

Exclamation Mylaps problems

G, have you seen this thread on ECH and reply from Homer Allman? Posted earlier today.

Maybe this is a solution for the problems you are having.
