Hi Luke,

« on: July 24, 2017, 12:52:33 PM »

Hello Luke,
i recognize a Strange Behavior when the cannon is fired...
In my Panther i use the Taigen mechanical recoil with  Taigen high-intensity flash unit
Fire the cannon by drive - the tank stuck very hard.
Fire the cannon three or four times the motor sound is stopping - all other sounds function
to reenable the motor sound i have to reset the TCB.

Cannon Fire by turret function top middle.
Auto start engine with trottle.

When i change the Function like the follow picture, all do fine:

Open Panzer Help / Second MG

« on: July 23, 2017, 07:28:54 AM »

Hi Luke,
I have this setup:
- Cannon flash LED at AUX
- Turret Machine Gun LED at MG
The most Tanks have a second MG.
Would it be possible to use L2 or brake as the second MG?

Open Panzer Help / Turret Rotation

« on: July 18, 2017, 12:55:49 AM »

Hello Luke,
not all tanks have a turret, eg. Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger and much more ....
The cannon is adjusted horizontally by +/- 20 °
For the modeltank I use a servo and control by the turret-rotation function.
Currently the servo return always in the middle position when the stick is centered. 
Is it possible to add the Servo-Pan function to Turret servo function?
Is it possible to add the adjustmen function like the barrel / recoil servo?


By the way:
The Connector (APPLE) for IR-Function is opposite to HL/Taigen function.
An easier way to connect a HL/Taigen device is: pull the white Plastics of the connector rotate it 180° and apply.

Open Panzer Help / Lights did not work

« on: July 15, 2017, 06:17:55 AM »

Hi,
i setup the TCB as described.
Driving is beautiful.
Turret works great.
But all LED is on.
- MG LED is allways on - no flash on trigger, Sound work
- Cannon LED is allways on - no flash on trigger, Sound work
- Light 1 and Light 2 did not react on trigger
- brake LED is allways on

I checked it on all my four TCB and it is all the same.... 

Look at the configuration:

Show and Tell / First Test...

« on: July 13, 2017, 12:35:53 AM »

Hi there,
Yesterday the boards arrived by UPS. 
Most important cables connected and go...
Here the test set-up:
- Transmitter Turnigy TH9x with AR9x Board and Frsky XJT Moduke
- Reciever Frsky X8R or Quanum FR8 (both work great)
- 2x Brushless 18/50A Sensorless ESC
- 2x HK Track 380 Sensorless Brushless Motor 3200KV
- some Servo



The parameterization of the Controlbaord is very easy.
Connect the Reciever to OPCBoard and and turn on the transmitter => Do not forget to bind the transmitter and receiver before!
Plug USB in OPCBoard - its powered by USB and start up automatically.
Start the Open Config and push "Connect" - If this done push "Read Radio".
Is everything connected and set correctly, this should look like this:



That was the hardest part...
Now you can make the settings.
Have Fun!
