Show and Tell / Shorty's E8
« on: March 19, 2018, 08:35:07 AM »
Hello everyone!  I am a new user of the Open Panzer.  I just received my TCB a few days ago.  I updated it with the new software and tried to get familiar with all the functions.  I am just starting a new tank build that I plan to use the TCB for.
I am sure I will have a few questions, as I always do.  Here is what I have to work with.  I am building a new Tamiya E8 from the M4 105 1/16 kit.  So far for the electronics side I have, Open Panzer TCB, Flysky FS-i6X Transmitter,  FS iA10B Receiver, and Benedini TBS mini.  I plan to use the Tamiya DMD as the ESC and would like to use the Tamiya speaker.  I would like to have 2 machine guns, which looks to be possible.  I will use the Tamiya Battle Unit (apple), IR emitter and either the Taigen flash unit (I have several laying around) or just a bright LED.  I have already made a servo barrel recoil and elevation.  The turret rotation will be stock Tamiya.  If anyone sees any issues or has any extra advice I would love to hear about about before I get too deep and have to go back and change a lot.   

I need to do a little more research on S-bus and I-bus.  I am not sure which one I should use???

The other thing I would like to do, if possible, is to run 2 Transmitters.  I would like to have 2 people control the tank.
One person would drive and the other would have turret control.  I am on the fence on how to do that with the TCB so far??

Thank you,
Shad
