New Smart terminal with color touchscreen & record/playback function for Xicoy ecus
We are happy to announce our new data terminal, that has been developed to be light weight (22,3g/ 0.8oz) and small to be installed permanently on the airplane.
It have an 1,8" color touchscreen, uSD card slot for data recording and firmware upgrade, plus an internal memory to store over 1 hour of engine run time.
Besides the usual functions of our current data terminal, presenting the data in full color and using graphic gauges, it includes assistants for radio checking, shutdown cause and other special turbine operations.
In my view, the most innovative and useful function is the internal recorder/playback function. The terminal continuously stores all the data received from the ecu, keeping in its permanent memory all the data of last 67 minutes of engine run, without the need of the memory card. After the flight, the terminal can be pulled out of the plane and, without connecting to the ecu, just connected to a 5-10V battery, the data stored can be played back in real time, same presentation as if the engine was running. Playback mode can be still, forward or reverse, speed x1, x 10 and x100 in both directions, so that would be easy to investigate any issue at the field without the need of a computer or any other type of reader.
This data, including all engine parameters, can be saved later to a memory card, where it can be read using a text editor, or our viewer software. Also can be sent to engine manufacturer to be studied, and changes uploaded back to the ecu.
It is compatible with all xicoy ecus that use the 3 wire servo lead (Kingtech, Wren, JetsMunt, JetCentral, etc). Firmware can be upgraded trough the uSD card, so the compatibility with new ecus and future functions is assured.
Available now trough our usual dealers (DreamworkRc, etc) or directly to us.

Looks very nice, just wondering what are the differences between this new unit and the current Xicoy Flight computer? I see obviously the playback option which is very cool and could prove to be very handy when out in the feild trouble shooting a problem. Especially when your away from your home base at a fly in. Very cool stuff! Will it have all the same features as the Flght computer as well? Like the GPS and the telemetry features as well?

Manythanks for your interest in the new gadget!
Answersto the latest questions:
@Birdman6310:Planned retail price would be around 60EUR net.
@CraigG: Yes, it is compatible with all our telemetrymodules and the future Bluetooth module using a "Y" servo lead.
@DHC6:Main difference is that it is an "engine only" terminal (although canbe used to program other items like our sequencer). It don't have the internalsensors (barometric, Pitot, 3D G load), nor provision for connecting external modules,like GPS or Telemetry. Screen size is smaller, and price is lessthan half, close to our current data terminals.

PD: @Felix:Pls don't ask what you already know!

We (Anita and I) are proud and privileged to offer this unit to all Jet Central, KingTech and other mfg's. who operate their turbine with the V10 ECU. Additionally, Jet Central powerpak owners as well, now have the ability to view the complete operation of their turbine.
Read again, the value/benefit of this newest release from Gaspar in the first post of this thread. . .all this for a fraction of the cost of other systems offered. $65.95 USD plus shipping.

Got 2 of these gizmos from Eric Clapp. Mounted one in my FB Dolphin (white) and one in my Ultra Flash under construction (red). Neat little device. I am still working on finding just the right spot to make easy to see and reach. I expect to set up the turbine parameters on the Flash tomorrow.

Air Sequencer Programming
Hello,
My name is Jake. I am a new Xicoy customer. I am useing two dual action units and one single action unit, plus the sequencer in my Skymaster 1/4 scale Hawk jet. This is the first time with this company and it products. Are there any manuals depicting the programming and operational setup of the sequencer and I just received the Smart Data Terminal in the mail today? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Jake

Xicoy has the manuals on its web pages. If you look in the content of each of the products you will see links. The sequencer is :-

Air Sequencer Programming
Thank you John,
I just purchased the Smart Data Terminal Controller. My local hobby shop said they contacted Xicoy and this Smart data terminal would program the air sequencer controller. I connected the SDT to the air retract sequencer and there is no indication providing a way to setup mthe air system. Can you suggest what I am doing wrong? Does the "Smart Data Controller" talk to the air sequencer? If so, how do I change it over to talk with the air sequencer?
Thank you for your time and information!
