If you've been out racing, or used cleanflight, you've probably heard of the iLap racing transponders. These racing transponders allow racers to be timed around the track using infra-red.
The open source community has begun producing free lap timing solutions because many of the commercial options are quite expensive, but as always there's a will for open systems to at least be able to register iLap transponders as they whizz past the gate given many people have them.
We've analysed the infra-red protocol they use and documented it here so now all gates can be iLap compatible .

Excellent detective work in the best spirit of open source :)
