    Will be in a little plastic box. Might have strategically placed holes for cable-ties. Maybe a clear plastic box so I dont have to cut holes for displays to show through.

    A nine volt battery wont last long enough for either of those poofs to actually complete a whole lap.

    That sounds waterproof in itself. It's not like they're going on jetskis.

    Although, don't mount it too close to Ducati exhausts......

    Yeah, the boxes I've looked at so far have been IP rated. Besides the guys I'll be flicking them too probably don't ride in the wet anyway.

    Not sure they'll be IP rated for ammonia anyway...

    Ahem...FIZZ makes a good point (by PM) that the pass-switch might be a good [LAP] button.

    semi-off tangent.... MotoGP 2003 (game) has a blue helmet for improved section, red for slower, grey for close to... why not have a green light to say you did better, red to say you did worse.

    i'd be keen for one.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Flashing led on box would indicate fastest lap. Solid indicates slower.

    What about:
    You cross your 'line' display chsows lap-time for 10secs, then shows the difference between your last lap time and fastest lap time for the remainder of the lap?

    Back on topic now, so long as the button isn't gonna get nudged unintentionally, and is easy to push when required, whatever is easiest to build would do nicely.

    BTW, if Flame post in here, tell her to piss off, she's already got a lap gadget on her bike, although, it's beyond comprehension as to how the bloody thing works.

    I think I might have broken it trying to get it working. Don't say anything.

    If it shows lap time for 10s, then goes to just counting up, you can use that to get a reference. say coming out of the harpin i was 24s into one lap then the next im 25s in..i know to come inot the pits cause ive blown the lap.

    I showered with bleach bro, the kids were made to stand clear anyway, kids going home stinking of piss, (either way you want to take the meaning of the word), would not go down well with thier mother.

    What about you have to hold the switch in for 1-2secs? Would trigger on you pushing it in (not releasing), and means you can abort the triggering if you fucked up or bumped it.
