    The displays? Hmm...maybe about $20. If I steal the work's ones then $0 but the chars are a little smaller. Might just have to make the first one and see what they're like.

    At least this will give me a few more options for displaying data. For example:


    |----------------|
    |Last Lap 1:18.4 |
    |Fastest 1:16.3 |
    |----------------|


    or...



    |----------------|
    |Last Lap +1.4s |
    |Fastest 1:16.3 |
    |----------------|
    That'd be ok, so long as charicters didn't get to small. I think thats the displays we use at work.

    The top example would suit me better, trying to figure out hat the lap was of diffrence seems a bit challenging mid qualifying session....

    Yeah, but it dont take sod all to confuse you Kapati lads, the rest of us who have time to contemplate the meaning of life during a lap, should have no hassles at all.

    I'm trying a new tactic here, get a dig into someone else, then steel any thunder thier retort might have, by paying myself out aswell

    Hmmm...the display is kinda small Jay. The viewable area is 64mm x 16mm, thats 16 chars x 2 lines. Hmmm...got some trick info on the two lines though...Last_Lap, Fastest_Lap and a split time (next to fastest lap). The demo/prototype unit has a display that measures much bigger (99mm wide viewing area). The display of that size that I can get is quite cheap ($11), but is only one line. Not sure thats too much of a problem. Might just have to rotate the info around a little.

    So...can you guys handle having a box that measures about 125mm x 50mm big in your top-yoke area (ooer)?

    You guys think a buzzer that goes off about 3 secs before your fastest lap is useful as a reminder? Maybe I'll make the 'Fastest Lap' LED a big bright fucker, and have that flashing 5 secs before the fastest lap...

    The buzzer would be drowned out by engine noise methinks. And loud enough to be heard over it would be a touch scary for the first few times it went off.

    Mind you, my times have got enough room for improvement, that I could put off hearing it for five laps, had I the skill of course, so a slightly mute point

    Dunno if I'd get time to hit the button twice during one wheelie, it'd have to be one of those super elite Scared sheep squadron types for that.
