We just begin using fuel management during our races, and the guys love it!

Here's our typical race settings:
3 minute heats, all drivers race on all lanes, automatic lane rotation, and a 1.30 inner segment time (Allows the guys to move their cars and get back and ready) NO auto restart after the inner segment.

Now we add fuel management: Generate Pit In after 2 seconds under light bridge (Phidget 0/16/16), Lane power is not turned off during fuel to allow for splash and go's

Here's the error were seeing. If someone is fueling when the segment ends, the fueling stops when the light goes red (That is correct), the lanes are rotated, but then some lanes are turned BACK ON! At first I thought this was the software being smart, allowing the car in the pits to get out of the pits and then shut the lane back off, but it turns the lane on where the driver is rotating TO, not wherer they are. We are using Phidgets 0/0/4's on this track (NINCO TRACK), and after this happens, lane power is very flaky for the rest of the race, sometimes not turning off a lane at the end of the segment, and so on, even though the screen shows all lanes are unchecked (Off). Pressing "Power On" and then "Power Off" does not correct the error. the only way to fix it is to unplug the Phidget boards and plug them back in, then hit power on, power off.

We are running 5.01, and we see something along the lines of this error with our other track, running 4.58 with an LPT1 card in place of two Phidget 0/0/4's.

Nope, no Hardware disconnect sound when this all happened.

I fix the bug as i mentioned and publish the beta of PCLC 5.02 here
Now about the second point (lane power was very flaky for the rest of the race) , it's not linked to the bug.
Regarding your explanation it happend only with fuel managment but Foiler also use the fuel managment with a Phidget 0/16/16 and actually he did not report me such problem.
When it happend again i suggest you take a look at the message box of PCLC and check if there are some messages which can help us to find the reason of the lane power flaky.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it

Happened again yesterday... no messages.

Event timeline:
Driver in Lane 5 (Purple) was fueling when segment click hit 0
PCLC rotates lane 5 (Purple) into Lane 6 (green)
Tick mark on lane power shows that power is off to all lanes except lane 6
Power is still on to lane 5 driver, even after pulling away from the light bridge, even though PCLC shows lane 5 power off, lane 6 power on
Situation was corrected by pressing "Power ON" and then "Power Off"



Any way to correct this from happening, meaning keeping all lanes off after segment no matter if the driver is under the light bridge or not?

you will be so kind to specify which version of Pc Lap Counter you use

Sorry! PCLC5.05d (Current release)

Thank, i test it with my Phidget 0/16/16 and i don't have any problem : at the end of a segment Pc Lap Counter power OFF all lanes and this even a car stay on the sensor.
Think i miss something, could you send me the corresponding racectrl.ini file so i can test it with the same options.

I test with your file and i don't have any problems, i test it with a Phidget 0/0/16 for the car detection and relay connected to the parallel port for the power control and starting lights....it's work fine
Next time you have the problem it will be fine that you take a copy of the file error.log and send it to me (error.log is in the Pc Lap Counter folder).
