Project Origin

In karting events, traditional manual timing is prone to errors and inefficient. To solve this, we developed this automated timing system based on the CF-815 UHF RFID Reader.

The system automatically identifies karts crossing the finish line via RFID technology, coupled with a carefully designed 10-second anti-shake algorithm, ensuring accurate counting for every lap even at high speeds.

After multiple iterations and field testing, the system creates stable support for 20 concurrent karts, providing real-time visualization, audio feedback, and complete data recording.
