3D Parts Repository

  • 2, 3 or 4 Players (configured at startup)
    • Press the Blu button on Power on to Activate Player 3
    • Press the Blu and White button on Power on to Activate Player 3 and 4
  • Press the Red button on Power on to Activate a Slope.
  • Keep it pressed until you ear the ‘beep‘ to Activate the ‘Engine Sound’
  • Press the Green button on Power on to Activate a Pitlane
  • You can configure the software with a companion Desktop Application:
    • LED number (*)
    • Race duration (laps)
    • Slope position and steepness
    • Pitlane length

(*) Max LED number supported by the software depends on the Board you are using. Currently supported boards are:

  • Arduino Nano: Up to 300 LED
  • Arduino Every: Up to 1500 LED (25 mt Racetrack using 60 LED/mt strips)

Get the code and modify it as you like !

Do you want to change LED colors, add or remove Features, play with something different than buttons ?

Download the code from the Gitlab Repository and start Hacking!

The code is divided in more source files (.ino, .cpp, .h).

In the ./doc folder you will find the OLR Serial Protocol documentation. This is the protocol used by the companion desktop app to configure software features. So you can configure the software via Arduino IDE Serial Console as well.
