Hi Johnno, I understand the feeling of being tasked to install something you know nothing about. It can be daunting just thinking of all the things that could go wrong! Well, that's the devil on your shoulder and don't let him have the upper hand! The bright side is the system is bulletproof if you wire and connect it properly. When I was building my custom Carrera track I was in the same scenario as you, searching for a hardware and software solution that would be simple to install and not have any issues. Trackmate is that system! I called and spoke to Daniel about how I wanted the system to operate, he put the parts together and I installed it as per his instructions. Couldn't be simpler! I have a 2 lane IR LED setup where I modified the track. Here's a pic. The Only Issue is some cars I have (NSR mainly) don't register a lap because of a white guide - Daniel told me about this possibility before he put my parts together, I just didn't want a light bridge like yours. I've since changed their guides and all is good. You'll be grateful you went with the system I think. Enjoy and have fun! The track looks great!
