Hughie:

How do the boxes send the info to the display box? Is it radio frequencies or infrared and have you had any interference issues?

Have you at least checked their website, or even a phone call at the number listed:

Yes, I emailed the three addresses listed on that website but the message was bounced back as "recipient rejected." Haven't tried calling since I don't have an international calling plan and would rather not pay Ma Bell $1.19/minute to be told that the number is no longer in service.

Recently I developed an even cheaper system that can be built by anybody who know how to solder.
The arduino source is already opensource and if there is any demand I will try to draw out the circuit designs.

So I am currently in the process of perfecting the prototype shown in the post above.

The device has three(five if you count the bike reflectors) parts. Set up takes 20 seconds at most and it produces accurate(1/100s) tee(or back) to hog line times.
For now it only shows the currently measured time.
If there would be enough users I also see the option to include bluetooth and develop an mobile app to store an manage training times.

The next step would be to make a small product run. This only makes sense if there is any interest.
Would anyone buy this thing if it costs 250€ (likely less) ?

Regards.
