Sexy kinda! :cool:

I was skeptical on how big the new ones would be. Nice to see they are about the same size as the Victors.

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

So is this the replacement for the VIC's? looks pretty sweet!

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

How'd you find out about this Greg? There doesn't seem to be anything on the FIRST or NI websites about it.

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

See the thread in the electrical section, there was a press release.

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

yup I saw that then did a little googling to find it and then took this as a screen capture out of the spec sheet. I figure teams would want to see it and the thread about it was bound to get buried after a short time.

I like this quote from the document!!!

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

That looks awesome

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

no fan makes me worry

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

Or even any obvious ventilation, for that matter

From the PDF spec sheet:

smexy. :cool:

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

woohoo

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

Looks good. Although from the current view, it looks like the rear of a semitruck with a wide body kit.
Should flow well with the new electronics and looks to be a tad bit shorter.

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

Man! With a fast controller combined with current and speed feedback stock i foresee people implementing some really sharp control algorithms.

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

At which point we can all say with 99% certainty that it's a software problem ;)

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

WooHoo! sheilded from debris!
Do I see a spot for an atari game cartridge? :P

p.s. Is it weird we think speed controllers are sexy?

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

for some reason it reminds me of Legos.

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

Well this one is worth being weird :P

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

I would like to hear from FIRST if this is being tested currently or on the market or what the development stage is on them. I intended to email the supplier to find out more information about it, avalibility, price, etc. Anyone else with me on this?

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

Yeah, a price tag would be nice. It would be a real bummer if there weren't enough or if they were too expensive.

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

I thought i was the only one! i have a big poster of a victor on my wall... and another with the fan off! :yikes:

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

what are the slots on the front? It looks like one is PWM, but what are the black things?

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
 

The black things are the RJ-45 plugs for the CAN communication option. On the front, there are 5 groups of headers. From left to right, these are PWM (surrounded by plastic casing), Brake/Coast, Analog Input, Quadrature Encoder Input, and Limit Switches.

And then on the front face of the whole enclosure is the cable retension tabs.

this is quite an elaborate hoax!
i dont think anyone questioned the source of this information.
no picture.... just a drawing??
