This is the Hardware i Use to test the software, it consists of 2 resisitors
of 10K
and 2 micro switches. When soldered together you can connect this to
your
parallel port. When one of the switches is pressed
it will activate pin 12 or 13 on the parallel port, which i read through
the
Splitsecond software. By the way, you could also put the microswitches
inside the slots on your track and have the Glideshoe on the car trigger
the microswitch. Since it's alot more work to integrate the microswitches
in my hometrack, i use the LDR hardware.
Part list :
2 * Resistor 10K
2 * Micro Switches
1 * 25 Pins Sub-D connector male
1 * some wire and solder.
1 * external 5v DC power supply
