Phoenix ICE HV Car Software

It would be nice if CC sold external module of TVS devices (on a heatspreader/sink?) and caps. Might be useful for more ESCs than just the ICE when running either HV or at the voltage limit of the ESC (like 6s on the MMM/MMPro).

Looking at the ICE ESCs, they kind of have a similar design as the Aveox sensored controllers, so here's a question Patrick. Can the ICE controllers have a sensor port to take advantage of the smooth sensored start up that many people like?

Nope. Not enough pins on that particular microprocessor to do both data logging and sensors.

BUT, if you want to wait another 4-6 months for me to redesign the control board, do new molds for the controller (so we can put a sensor port in,) then... maybe.

I once heard a man say:

"We don't need no stinking sensors!"

You perfect it, and I'll buy it Patrick.

I'm really looking forward to a true HV setup.

I can wait, but you know how other members can get . Either way, I'll be waiting for the normal ICE HV to come out.

The regular ICE HV is shipping NOW.

I'll be waiting for the sensored option......so NO maybe for you mister.

My vote is for getting the normal version out ASAP, I need a good HV speedo. If you do a sensored controller I would probably buy that as well....

i agree lets get them out as quick as possible and a sensored option can come out later on if needed.

HV Ice > sliced bread

[sikeston34m]

I'm ready when you're ready.

I want one of these really bad.

I think the popularity of this thread says something about the level of interest in this project.
