brian your specs on the duratrax ice are backwards. it should be 4s and up to 8amps.

BrianG · 04.20.2007, 10:26 AM

LOL. ok, I can fix that. All the settings are in arrays, so it's fairly easy to mix something up. :)

I was just thinking how great your little tool is, and what it became over the last couple months. Great, man. Thank you very much! It's one of the most clicked bookmarks on my desktop. I'll make sure to pass on any new numbers I come across.

It's growing so much, maybe you should put up a "NEWS" section on the start page!? :)

It is.. It is AWESOME Brian.

One powerfull tool indeed.

BrianG · 04.20.2007, 12:03 PM

Thanks guys! It HAS grown quite a bit from "v1", lol. I just keep adding things and adding things, and now it's almost a complete site in itself! I thought about creating a subdomain for it, but then I'd have to change the link.

The trouble is that it is getting to the point where it's almost getting too complex to use. The code for the help system is getting quite large - the array that holds the data has 76 entries! And the main code library alone is over 40k bytes! The original intent was to make a simple, inuitive tool that newbies could use, but now I wonder if it's too much?

As to adding a "news" page; I thought about it, but I'd rather people read about the news here and then navigate to it from here. The original intent was to supplement the RCM site, not to be so "stand-alone". If anything, I might simplify the release notes and put that on the home page.

Again, if anyone has more data (motors, transmissions, diffs, charger, etc) I would be more than happy to add it...

Brian - Thanks for keeping up the hard work on this. Very useful information all the way.

BrianG · 04.20.2007, 03:56 PM

Fixed the ICE charger issue and also fixed a couple other small things with the charger info.

MetalMan · 04.20.2007, 05:10 PM

In the Lipo charger section, the ICE doesn't have a power output limit shown - it is 120watts. The TP-1010C can put out 210watts maximum. The Hyperion EOS 5i series can put out 50watts max. If you want to add the Astroflight 109, it can to up to 9s Lipo and 8amps, with a max. power output of 170watts. There is also an A123 version of the Astroflight 109, which can do 10s A123, 8amps, and 170watts max.

Sorry for the extra info., but I figure it might be useful for some others out there :).

BrianG · 04.20.2007, 09:12 PM

Thanks MM! Where I didn't know the power rating, I put 0. And the TP charger power rating is an "oops" - I thought it was 300w.

And the extra information is perfect! Also, if there are any other noteworthy features (for the data table page), I can add that as well. Like if the charger can do other battery types, if it has an adjustable CC/CV threshold, etc.

Much better! However, the regular AF109 can only do 9s Lipo.

Truly awesome work Brian. I have used this site so many times, and it has helped many times to decide on gearing, etc.

Big thanks!!!

It would be great if you could find the info for the Superbrain 989 otherwise I'll be asking lots of questions later on, lol. :005:

BrianG · 04.21.2007, 12:27 AM

You're welcome.

Supply the info for the 989 (and any others) and I'll put it in. :)

I figure I do the hard part of coding it all, you could at least get some data for me. ;)

what cha need? i have a 989 i can help u!

pm me with what u need for it!:018:

jnev · 04.21.2007, 01:28 AM

Yah, I know, I'm lazy, lol. I'll need to find someone on the forums with a 989 to give you the info.

BrianG · 04.21.2007, 01:49 AM

- max cell count
- max current
- power limit
- if it runs on 12v
- if it runs on 120v AC
- whether you can adjust the CC/CV threshold
- efficiency
- any other noteworthy features.

It's OK if you don't know the efficiency (the code assumes 80% as a ballpark figure if it isn't known). This value is not something commonly given, I just happened to measure it on my EOS 7i a while back.

Thanks in advance! You'll be contributing to a good cause. :)
