Nomadio Sensor - The Digital Controller System that changes everything about RC.
- No more crystal radios or frequency clips
Sensor uses digital 2.4Ghz spread spectrum radio technology. Just like
your cell phone, Sensor finds a clear channel automatically without you
ever having to deal with frequency crystals or glitches again. Unlike
clumsy “bolt on” DSS radios, Sensor’s is built to take advantage of DSS
speed and accuracy.
- Real time telemetry
Sensor’s digital radio is two way, not one way, like crystal radios.
That means that for the first time Sensor gives you real time reports
of the condition of your car while you are driving it. Initially we
provide sensors for speed, temperature and battery voltage, but the
system is expandable and we will be releasing several exciting new
sensors over the coming year. Unlike clumsy “bolt on” telemetry
systems, Sensor’s is fully integrated into the controller.
- Heads up competition driving system
Sensor gives you important alerts about your car without requiring you
to take your eyes off the track. It does this with an integrated sound
and vibration system that allows you to program what you want to know
and how you want to be told. You can use headphones to keep your alerts
private, too.
- Brains and bandwidth in your RC car
For the first time, there is a microcontroller brain in your RC car.
This breakthrough will enable all sorts of new and interesting
capabilities for RC. For example, there is no need to spend money for a
dedicated failsafe unit - Sensor's is built in. The onboard
microprocessor knows what to do in the event of a loss of
communication. This sort of thing is impossible with "dumb" analog
crystal radios.
It's ridiculously fast
Sensor’s design team optimized its digital brain for incredible speed
and accuracy. The system sends control and telemetry updates to and
from the car 100 times per second, with a resolution of 4096 steps per
channel.
It's a PC-connected peripheral
Sensor was designed to use your PC to make it incredibly easy to
program, back up, analyze, and update. Once you register your Sensor at
Nomadio’s web site, we’ll automatically tell you when new software is
available to add or improve functions on your Sensor. No other RC
product offers Sensor’s future upgrade capability. There will even be a
developer’s kit to allow third parties to develop software and
expansion hardware for the Sensor system. |
