SKP Solo ESC compact HV controller [SERIOUS] SALE! code “AMPS”

5-pin latching LED cheat sheet

TBC but worked for 2 x Little FOCer over CAN setup…

  • Master ESC switch pin → Button ‘NC’
  • Master ESC GND pin → Button ‘C’
  • Master ESC 5v pin → Button ‘+’
  • Slave ESC switch pin → Button ‘NC’
  • Slave ESC GND pin → Button ‘C’
  • Button bridge pins ‘-’ → C

Could benefit from it because Solo dual is just 2 Solos mounted to the same heatsink this is how I have my switches set up for the duals

I think it’s actually exactly what you wrote out

Since it’s a latching switch I have it wires to be ON when it’s unlatched and off when it’s latched

ah-ha! edited post to remove erroneous part. I noticed you are also using GND from the slave->button. wondering if that is necessary/good practice

I am not sure how else you would close that circuit to power off Solo. The design is very simple and robust

Specifically the slave, it only requires the switch wire & doesn’t need a GND wire to turn on/off, not sure on if this causes component damage risk or such though. Paging @shaman

I recommend using the local GND pin at each connector for each switch. It helps prevent nasty ground loops that may damage the controller. So for multiple controllers, run the wires for the switch and gnd pins in parallel

Thanks will add a GND wire for slave controller

Enormous Thank you to Roman!!! @rpasichnyk

Very soon Solo will be available for purchase with integrated Metr capabilities

This is in testing right now but all who have preordered a solo controller will have the option to add on metr capabilites for a small fee. More info will be avalable early next week

Great stuff, @rpasichnyk is this integration going to support the full suite of Metr features, including SD card and GPS module?

Does this mean integrated without needing to use uart or can? Like similar to how the Unity version works?

Yes, but even better, no need for any other modules, the built in BLE module in the Solos will have metr capability, so all you will need is a pairing code and a slightly different version of the metr app

Epic. Definitely upgrading to this in my raceboard later this year

This is not in the works yet, but I am sure there is a way :zap:

Yes, similar to that.

Skyart, how much can these things handle in terms of high erpm uses? Just had my spintend + 179kv 7490 @ 13S completely shut off on me at speed and launch me into traffic, im guessing i fried the ESC. Would yours be a safer bet for HV + high pole count motors?

You see this post?

The question is how reliable is that under load, free spin is one thing, but under hard acceleration it could be a totally different story - my spintend setup was bulletproof on the bench, but clearly not in actual testing.

i mean, the problem is you’re using a ubox :rofl:

I have not tested the high erpms loaded. What is your set up? What voltage are you running?

Oh you on 13s

Close to 100k erpm

Advantage solo has over spintend is that Solos are singles and there is more processing power than you get with dual controllers on a Single MCU. Which I think spintend is set up this way, anyone feel free to correct me

Fortunately not, spintends are 2 separate 75/300 logic and power stages, ie dual MCU. Just the Xenith and stormcore are single MCU.
