Welcome to the next generation of Castle air controllers, the Phoenix Ice series.
Phoenix
Ice brings the ability to run at input voltages of up to 8S* (33.6) and
use the built in switching BEC to output up to 5 amps of servo power
all the way up to the 8S max*!
Switching BEC
The Phoenix Ice switching BEC output is factory set to 5.0V. Users may
use Castle Link to select their desired voltage between 5.0V and 7.0V,
in 0.1V increments.
Data Logging
Ice brings another incredibly useful feature, extensive data logging
capabilities. The controllers are able to measure and record many
parameters at sample rates that you choose between 10 samples per
second and 1 sample per second. Data points include:
- Battery Voltage
- Battery Ripple
- Battery Current
- Controller Temperature
- Controller Input Throttle
- Controller Motor Power Output
- Motor RPM
This
data is stored directly in the controller and may be accessed once the
run is over using the Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and
Castle Link software (available free at castlecreations.com). The Max
Log Size is 21,504 bytes, everything takes one byte except for motor
rpm which takes two.
- Logging 'Battery Current' at only a 1 sample / second - 358 minutes of logging time (almost 6 hrs)
- Logging 'Motor RPM' at only 1 sample / second - 179 minutes of logging time
- Logging everything at only 1 sample / second - 44 minutes of logging time
- Logging everything at 10 samples / second - 4 minutes and 28 seconds
