IGNIS Application
The IGNIS firmware is a public application for starter-generator systems. It enables the siliXcon motor controller to both start an internal combustion engine and generate electrical power.
Key Features
- Starting sequence — configurable pullback, cranking, pause, and retry cycle
- No-load ramp — gradual load increase after engine start to reduce stress
- Overvoltage protection — automatic shutdown if motor voltage exceeds battery voltage
- GPIO or auto start — start via digital input or automatically on power-up
- Maintenance tracking — persistent motor seconds and start counters
- Motor sound feedback — acoustic feedback for system events
- Kill relay — contactor-driven engine shutdown (wiring)
