Has anyone got any information or links on how to set up an accurate timing system along the lines of the timing systems in the bigger races (but on a far leaner budget)?
I'm interested in the devices used, velcro anklets with some sort of chip in them (what kind?) sensors on the start/finish line, etc. I have a very technical background so don't be afraid of being to technical.
I know the chips are just like those used for access control and Bike datatag applications about the size of a grain of rice inside some sort of encapsulation triggered powered and read by an antennae in the mats at the start finish etc. Thats the resonably easy part the hard part is taking the data stream they generate and tying it into some sort of timing and athlete ID system that is automated. I'm trying to develop a system our club here in the UK can use for small events so if anyone has any ideas or knows of anything let us all know.
