Scorpius Generation II Car Decoder

Hi Guys,
The first generation car chip released on July 1st 2011 is still the same chip after 8 years. Quite remarkable and could probably still go another 5 years.

However times change, new technology becomes available and customer requirements change.

So whats on the table?

Well were not quite sure yet. I have a pretty good idea. Im putting together a wish list of goodies.

1.Smallest chip. Under 375 sq mm.

2.SSD DPR hatch and plug compatible. Convert your Scalextric car in 60 seconds no soldering.

3.SSD native compatible. Use SSD powerbase, controllers and lane changers.

4.Carrera native compatible. Use Carrera black box, controllers and lane changers.

5.Oxigen hardware compatible. Can run, change lanes and detect magnet for lap counting. Send lap count info to Scorpius RMS. An option for existing
Oxigen users. Later if Oxigen are wiling to share protocols we can have a common standard. Uses SSD IDs 1-6.

5.Auto detect for various systems. Simply put car on rails. It figures out what system it is. No configuring using app or other methods.

6.Accelerometer. Used for what we hope will be the ultimate ghost car. Also used to detect rear end bumps and crash severity for RMS damage algorithm.

7.Switchable between nRF shockburst and Bluetooth. Place car on rails. Tap car 3 times on roof. Car converts to BLE for firmware upgrades,
reconfiguring and app driver control (Without dongle). Tap again to convert back to nRF (Scorpius protocols).

8.Hall sensor. Used for Oxigen compatibility and for car/motor tuning, ie detect exact RPM.

9. Back EMF detection. Used for traction control, current sensing, motor analysis.

10.Headlights and tail lights controlled from controller.

11.Analogue compatible using Scorpius WAM.

12. App connection.

13. Improved car telemetry. G force readings, back EMF etc.

14. Ability to send telemetry and lap counting information to Scorpius RMS while in SSD or Carrera native mode.


So were in the planning stages. Lots to think about.

Forum think tank open. Any requests or ideas please add here.
