Theory of Operation
The Iridium System is a complete timing system for Radio Controlled Cars.
The transponders use infrared technology, An overhead bar is placed at the start/finish line approximately 24 inches above the track with sensor modules placed every 14 inches. When a transponder passes underneath
its ID will be sent to the PC. Many transponders can pass through simultaneously and all of them will be detected and counted.
I
Transponders
Transponders are powered by the R/C receiver battery. The Transponder should be mounted as flat as possible. It may be mounted in the windshield area or by having a clear area in the front hood of the car it would be possible to mount the transponder there.
Testing
The Interface boards yellow LED will be on when a transponder is detected. The Transponders small LEDs will be on when the overhead sensors are detected.

beep will be heard every lap scored. Watch for the car that cart wheels
through the transponder detector and still scores a lap.
