The nRF52832 is both RF and Bluetooth, but not simultaneously. With apps ruling everything these days and the convenience and power of a mobile phone how do we get messages from slot car to phone whilst in RF Scorpius mode?

Here is the answer.
The MPD for Scorpius in complete.
The latest prototype boasting RX/TX connection is just 5 weeks off. We just need to program the second chip to simply pass on the same identical message but in Bluetooth rather than Scorpius propriety RF. This will then communicate to Scorpius and Smart Race apps. The possibilities are almost endless.
Again the MPD, Multi Protocol Decoder, is utilised. Wavegreen
This will be a simple exercise but must wait in line behind other priorities. Exciting times. Rofl

Here it is. World first, car to app via this new converter. Example our new upcoming Dyno (another world first) to app. Soon you’ll be able to analyse motors for RPM, torque and power on your phone. 
Other examples, lap counting, fuel levels etc direct to phone.

You could also go phone to car whilst the car is in RF mode. Example car runs out of fuel, race app over rides driver, makes car stutter and return to pits.

As you can see we are putting hardware in place that will take us through the next decade of ANY possible requirement from the slot car community.
