For users of the latest advanced powerbase (C7042), or owners of the modified powerbase pro, SSDC takes things further by simulating fuel burn and refuelling, real time car performance variation, track calls, pitlane speed limiting, pace cars and much more.

The first version of SSDC for the new advanced 6 car powerbase from Scalextric. This version supports: Four race formats including Qualify, Pursuit, Endurance and Grand Prix. Fuel burn, refuelling and real time performance changes for each car. …

Track Call after: SSDC can automatically generate a track call (flashing ambers lights, slowing of the leading cars for PB-Pro and no overtaking rule applied) if it detects that the throttle of a racing car is at zero for a period of time.

Lap timing more consistent for faster cars and cars using ID6; New Features: AUX transmission is switchable in SNC protocol

SSDC version 5 is designed to support the new Advanced 6 Car Powerbase from Scalextric (code C7042). This new powerbase interfaces with a PC in an entirely different way, allowing for much finer control and interaction during races.

Here are some recordings that show you how to get started with, and use, your SSDC software. Starting SSDC version 5 for the first time and running your first race Setting up and running a constant throttle pace car

When you want to refuel, press the lane change button only. Make sure that there is no throttle and the brake button is released. After a short while (determined by the refuel delay in the program options window) SSDC will set the leaderboard pit lane indicator for …

Firmware version 1.07 (and all subsequent versions) introduced the ability to ID cars and control powerbase settings. This is achieved in the following ways: To ID a car you send a standard drive packet (operation byte, bit 6 set) and then make use of the LED status byte in the following way:

This document describes the communication protocol between the C7042 - 6 Car Power Base in the Screen Not Connected mode (SNC mode) and host (it is such as PC). Note that the protocol is designed with the specific hardware implementation taken into account and
