For Linux download the source code and compile the software using RealBasic's free Linux IDE.

RFID tags

This software will allow you to use standard RFID tags with the Core lap counter. You can get TI 13.56Mhz ISO15963 tags cheaply from Mouser. For these tags to work with the Kyosho IC lap counter they must be initialized using the above program. Our club has been successfully using the following tags with the Core lap counter for a while:

 TI Large RFID Tag 76mm x 45mm

Other clubs have confirmed these tags to work:

 TI Medium RFID Tag 45mm x 45mm

 TI Small RFID Tag 38mm x 32.5mm

As a warning the small tags can miss laps if you are going too fast, mount the tags to the bottom of the car if possible and make sure to put the lap counter on a slower part of the track.
