It's all done with mirrors

Using the IR port

I had a hope that, just for a single car, you could use the IR port on the Palm to capture times. Using two Palms, I did get this working, but indeed the IT port is so weak and intermittent that it...

Great instructions, thanks; although I didn't need to undo the two screws in the battery box.

23.5 rears??

What can you do for $6?

Buy some cheap garden hose and some duct tape; and make a mess in your condo; at least that is my experience.
