Thank you for purchasing this Slot.it controller. Before starting, please make sure you have read the following instructions carefully. The SCP-2 is contactless, friction free, with linear magnetic trigger position readout (patented), and features an interchangeable cartridge system, to connect to either analog or digital systems. The digital cartridge is universal for all the available commercial brands (Ninco, Carrera, Hornby and Tecnitoys).

Understanding how the SCP-2 works The Slot.it SCP-2 is a sophisticated, microcontroller based, speed controller for slot cars. It has a PWM output for both power and brake, plus a lot of other features. Without entering too much into detail, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is one of the possible ways to control the output voltage of an electronic system.

Mode 1 – LINEAR with step Entering Mode 1 Mode 1 is selected by putting the switch on the back of the controller to the 'LIN' (top) position, and the switch on the top side, to any position except the '00' one: back of controller top of controller Slow...

So, ideally one would want, in this case, to have a controller, which responded as if the power was 12V in the turns, and 18V in straight lines. From this observation, the 'linear with step' mode was created to keep the power band under control, without sacrificing top speed.
Page 14
Mode 2 is designed to give a way to reduce the top speed of the car, which is especially useful for beginners or young kids. NEW IN SCP-2 Being a 'special' mode, it is accessed through a protected procedure, as follows: reset (power on) the controller with the round button pressed and move the switch to 'slow' from 'std' while keeping the brake pressed.

Mode 3 – CURVE - explained Entering Mode 3 Select mode 3 by putting the switch on the back of the controller to the 'CRV' (bottom) position. back of controller top of controller Slow Fast Using Mode 3 The 'Curve' mode is very flexible. By appropriate adjustment of the Curve/Max CM knob, together with the position of the dip switches (DS), the response curve can be custom tailored.

Envelope of curves with given DS, MS and CM change knobs: NEW IN SCP-2 All this said, in Mode 3, as in the other modes, the trigger mapping can be set to an aggressive, standard or soft response using the additional switch.

Mode 4 – GHOST - explained Entering Mode 4 Activate the GHOST (auto run) mode by executing the following actions in sequence: 1. turn the Curve/Max knob completely counterclockwise to 0 2. put the CRV/LIN switch on LIN 3. press HAND BRAKE 4.
SCP-2's controls The SCP-2 has four main knobs, three push buttons, a sliding switch and a lever switch. Power Trim (PT): also known as 'antispin', this knob controls how the power trim strategy delivers the power to the car. no power trim...

Lane Change command pressed himself. The advantage of this is that, once pressed, the driver can concentrate on driving, and the SCP-2 will take car of lane changing, for the next two seconds. A further pressing of the 'UP' arrow when the strategy is active will switch it off.

The USB-like data port on the side of the controller is NOT a USB PORT. Do NOT connect it to your PC or data key. It does not harm the SCP-2 or the PC, but is completely useless to do so.

How does the SCP-2 protect itself As the SCP-2 can operate in a very harsh environment, it has several ways of protecting itself against short circuits and polarity inversions. The following applies to analog systems with 'home racing' cartridge only. The high end cartridge is protected differently, by fuse and by higher...

SC 1.1 and now SCP-2. A small change of the 'base' map, which normally is hidden from the user, can radically change the behaviour of the controller. The base mapping is set during production, but a rewrite of the mapping must be performed every time the trigger magnet is replaced.
