Pre production Nitrous dongles arrived from John today.
This opens the doors for not only a new player for aftermarket Carrera controllers but opens up a new frontier of a revolutionary dual communication protocol called Nitrous.
We have the Scorpius protocols completed. And we have the Carrera protocols 95% completed.
John is currently working on a third type, Nitrous, a marriage if you like of full Scorpius functionality whilst still taking in native Carrera data via the braids. This ensures any Carrera functionality is available if ever required. Example ghost cars on the Carrera side.
The Nitrous dongle captures Scorpius controller data and converts it into Carrera controller code.
The main benefit is we can achieve proprietary lane changing without rubber bands or sticky tape.
The Carrera CU receives the lane change request as it would from a Carrera controller and sends a global notification to all Carrera lane changers via the rails. Each lane changer is told car 4 is wanting to change lanes. As soon as it sees a cars strobing LED ID or will activate the flipper.
So over the next few weeks we will see Nitrous emerge.
This dongle makes it all possible.
Just got to snap on the dongle cover as per earlier posts.
Fun times.
