Scorpius MPD for Carrera
#10

A day in the life of a developer.
Sure wireless is cool. The coolest. But the reality is everytime you add a wireless product it adds to on air congestion. Extra air data has to be processed, even if it is to be ignored and not used. Hence the reason we don’t want to divert controller to car via PC for simulations. It also adds delay.
At the moment we can use wireless or wired on the Nitrous module. 
Wired looks better for this application.
Thoughts today included just making a a new board just for the task, but that means additional production runs and more inventory to keep stocked.
It should be possible to use a pin on the nRF to do the DAC using PWM and a simple RC filter. I've ordered a 6P6C RG12 cable and RJ12 socket to 0.1" pitch header so that John can breadboard the idea using an ESP32 module. Looks like the solenoid output on MPD could also be used to activate LC. Power (5V) would come from the CU controller socket.
I’ll know more in a week or 2.
