Hello all,
Newbie to RCTech forum here. I am in the process of building an FPV Quadcopter, this is just an FYI. I am not an expert RCr by any stretch of the imagination. But I am very much interested in the Transponder design and Lap timing decoder Howard Cano started a while back, this is great stuff. I come from a Karting and Legends racing prep techman background and have always wanted to build an accurate DIY timing system, so I googled lap counting and timing Transponder. and the search led me to this fantastic site and very informative thread. I do have a back ground in electronics, RF and satellite comms for 25+ years. If you know anything about the Atlanta Area, you can probably deduce my previous employeer not the one that begins with M but the other one, the used to be leader in the Cable industry prior to a certain west cost company buying and selling off all parts of the once very successful company as well as releasing some very skilled engineers that pretty much made the company the leader it was in the cable world. I have some free time now and I would very much like to make myself available to help out on this project. Thanks to all for the great insight into the transponder timing world. Howard I will be sending you a PM shortly begging for whatever you have avail. on these two projects, schemos, board layouts, BOM's, theory of Operation, PC Boards, Kits, pre programmed MCu's, etc..

Regards
