RC Car Laser Lap counter with Palm IRDA interface and MP3 voice prompts

Let's build a low cost "Palm" enabled Lap counter for our RC cars this month. Featuring ZiLOG's new MDS-GP accessory board and the Z8Encore! development kit we set out to have a little fun in the sun this summer. You can also get more details on this project and others at a very cool website for hobbyist and Geeks at www.geekfreaks.com.
