Title: My SU-152 with TCB
Post by: Deny on July 20, 2018, 02:15:07 AM

Good day, dear friends.
Let me introduce my favorite exhibit, the SU - 152, which I equipped with the openpanzer Board. Let me show you the lineup and a few improvements.

The history of the construction of this model can be found here https://tankspb.com/index.php?topic=714.msg5620#msg5620 (https://tankspb.com/index.php?topic=714.msg5620#msg5620)   . My acquaintance with TCB Board here https://tankspb.com/index.php?topic=705.0 (https://tankspb.com/index.php?topic=705.0)

Now about experiments. Now I have to control the gearboxes are speed controllers HobbyKing XCar 45A, but while I was waiting for them, gathered on Arduino and monster shield control gear and loaded the sketch from the Hatch, came cheap and efficient system.

IR Receivers installed in the viewing slots. For light indication of the hit, I used the led ring, with the help of Arduino Pro mini made friends led ring with TCB Board . To have more space modified smoke machine, this was removed and the motor piston, and left only the chamber to which the valve is attached. It's not bad, it's working.

Well photo change the smoke machine

P.s. Luke, good day.
For this forum there is a good mod Post_and_PM_Inline_Attachments_v6.13, it allows you to insert an image into the message body. A very handy thing. Here is the link http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3770

Hi Deny, your 152 looks great. About the "Inline attachments" mod I agree it could be useful, however there are several mods already used on this forum and some of them conflict with that one. It might be possible to reconcile all the differences but that is a lot of work and every time the forum changes to a new version, or the mods are updated, they are likely to break again and it becomes a maintenance nightmare.

Someday when Open Panzer is a multi-billion dollar global enterprise and we have a large full-time staff in the IT department I will consider it again! :)
