Scorpius Wireless next level wireless comms
#1

Hi Guys,
  After investigating the idea of utilising 2 radio chips per board we are happy to announce we will proceed with the worlds first dual radio comms slot car decoder.
The chosen chip is the Nordic nRF52805. A powerful SOC indeed.
.
This keeps it in the Nordic family as that is what we know best. The chip is cost effective and has its own microprocessor for processing anything to do with Bluetooth. This means updating firmware, configuring settings like brakes, 
sending real time info to your phone like fuel, tyres, brakes, lap count, tacho, etc. The possibilities are mind blowing. All throttle to car communications will remain 2.4GHZ proprietary Scorpius protocols.

This is just one of 10 hardware changes flagged for January where we will instruct our factory in Taiwan to produce 20 prototype units.

Exciting times.

Now adding a choice of RF and RF or RF or BT. 
   
   

To put car into different modes simply tap the car and let the accelerometer do the work.
Amount of taps for various modes:
DFU: 3
RF and RF: 4 
Configure: 5
RF and BT: 6
Bootloader: 7

Choice 1: Use the 832 chip for RF throttle to car comms. Use the 805 chip to send telemetry to phone app.
Choice 2: Use the 832 chip for RF throttle to car comms. Use the 805 chip to send telemetry to dongle then onto the RMS of being used.
This frees up the 832 for ultimate use of speed. We can now get 10
times more telemetry back to the PC  enabling accelerometer readings, current detection amongst others to be added without burdening the system.
Here it’s all about the architecture Cool 

World first number 75.

If the controller is operating then it will work as follows: (The previous pics were for updates and config)
