I grew up with Scalextric. My dad and I built an elongated figure of 8 track as a kid on a board. The board was on the ground in our converted greenhouse. I put in a pit lane, albeit painted not an actual track section. I built garages and landscaped it. Not bad for a 12 year old. Even by todays standards it was very cool. All my mates used to come straight from school and we would race till dinner time. Lots of good memories and a lifetime fondness of Scalextric begun. Fast forward to 2006 when I bought our kids a set, analogue. Scalextric, of course. I soon converted it ..read more

The purpose of Smart LEDs has been discussed on an earlier separate thread: https://slotracer.online/community/showt...2#pid35942 One application is to add additional IR car strobe IDs. For example IDs 7-10 to expand the SSD system. Another example is to provide an alternative method for oXigen lap counting based on an extension of the SSD six car method. I with a group of amazing and supportive friends are exploring both of these options and others too ;) In this post I will focus on how to wire a Smart LED onto each of the three recent/present versions of oXigen wireless decode ..read more
