Open Panzer Help / Ideas for new triggers and functions
« on: February 17, 2019, 10:20:18 AM »
Hello there,

I'd like to share couple of ideas to TCB:
- Function to limit max speed. It can be useful for slow movements. It can be one function with limit 50% of speed, (or three for example: 25%, 50%, 75%).
- Triggers for turn lights (two triggers for left and right turns). Turn lights, i think, can be connected to extrnal output A & B.
- Triggers for forward and reverse movements

Thank you.

Open Panzer Help / Car type with external ESC issue
« on: November 18, 2018, 01:54:22 PM »
Hello, I try to run OpenPanzer in Car mode, and observe strange behavior. When I use built-in driver - all works perfectly:
- Motor connected to built-in 'A' socket
- Steering servo to RC output 2
but when I changed engine connection to external ESC (plug ESC to EC Output 1) - moving was available only for diagonals - (top-right, bottom-right forward; top-left,bottom-left backward), also steering servo moving on top and bottom positions of stick.

I've tried 2 TCB and 3 ESC - the same behavior on all of this.

Open Panzer Help / RC pass-though/pan servo
« on: July 03, 2018, 05:29:34 AM »
Hello, I've tried to configure extra RC outputs on TCB for manage additional servo. But only limited number of trigger sources are available for that (see attachment). Is it possible to add any AUX channel for RC Outputs? (for example make servo open/close something depend from 2-position switch: pos1 - open; pos2 - close)

Show and Tell / TCB project from scratch (based on Arduino Mega mini)
« on: January 25, 2018, 04:30:01 AM »
Hello,

I would like to show my small achievements based on OpenPanzer project. General purpose for me - create self-made flexible
control board based on simple and available components. I've purchased components on the AliExpress, but most of them can be found on Ebay too.
Information for build got from here:
- http://openpanzer.org/forum/index.php?topic=16.0
- http://openpanzer.org/forum/index.php?topic=16.msg70#msg70
- http://www.openpanzer.org/downloads/tcbmk1/eagle/OpenPanzer_TCB_Mk1_Schematic.pdf

Parameters of TCB:
- Radio: iBus protocol (I didn't support for sBus, because I don't have them)
- Main motors: built-in controller, up to 14A current (30A peak)
- Turret rotation: Servo (at the moment regular Taigen mechanism with external ESC is used; will be remade)
- Barrel elevation: Servo
- Recoil: Servo
- Management: bluetooth

Components:
- Arduino Mega Mini, Main component for all system
- Monster Shield (single), 2 items, motor H-bridge, used as Built-in driver. I've tried Monster Shield for 2 motors, but all of them were broken.
- Bluetooth SPP-c module, management component.
- AMS1117-5V, module for power servos. One module up to 800mA current.
- Sockets: JST-XH; PCB 2.54 pin headers (male and female); power socket
- DIP switch (6 positions; 2 - tank class, 2 - servo configuration, 1 - fire/repair mode, 1 - bluetooth/usb management mode )
- Transistor BC337
- Several resistors
- Button
- Couple of LEDs (red and green)
