I haven't figured out the trigger for the mouse yet.
It occured to me that I can probably use garage door sensors at the finish line. I can probably hack a serial COM cable, and connect the leads to the sensors. My concern is that the Photo cell senso will trigger off and on as the bike passes through the light field. Maybe I'll track down a used on on eBay and test out the theory.
