**App Overview** This app uses your smartphone's camera to measure lap times for Mini 4WD cars, RC cars, Kyosho Mini-Z, and similar vehicles. It offers detailed settings to ensure accurate measurements. By entering the course length, speed can also be displayed. **Main Features** **- Font Size**: Adjust the font size for lap times and statistics. Choose the optimal size for visibility and layout. **- Decimal Places**: Specify up to 9 decimal places for speed and time values.

Customize detection conditions based on your environment and course. **- Detection Point Settings**: Specify which points on the screen trigger lap detection. Choose freely from 81 selectable detection points. **- Course Length Settings**: Automatically calculate accurate lap distances based on course type (2-lane/3-lane) and selected parts.

Place your smartphone on the course (ensure it is stable and vibration-free). 2. Tap Start. 3. When the car passes, measurement begins. 4. Tap Stop after the desired number of laps. 5.

If detection fails, try lowering the sensitivity value to improve responsiveness. The default is 100, but around 80 may work better.

Please enter the course length from the menu. **Q. I set the course length, but where is the speed shown?** A. Scroll the lap list to the left to reveal the speed on the right side. **Q.
