After more than ten tries I can say that it didn't work using the connect button directly.

The Snoop method is still the best method.

That's great news and I'll try it somewhere in the weekend.

That works! It's kind of roundabout way of getting there, but it's progress! Thank you!
I do hope my PC isn't haunted or something, as this might be a unique case lol

Connecting normally without Snoop still doesn't work.

Ok, we are making progress. At least we know the hardware works and theoretically so does the firmware/software, at least in some circumstances. But obviously re-flashing is a slow process so you don't want to have to do that every time.

This may sound stupid and you've probably tried it one hundred times already, but just to cover all our bases, when you try to connect and it fails, can you just try again immediately right away again, perhaps multiple times? Apologies if that's already what you've been doing the last two hours!

I have not encountered this particular problem before. I may need to create an option for manual connection that bypasses the handshake, for cases where you can successfully Snoop but not "connect." If you've already made it to Snoop, we should be able to go directly into connection mode. This will take me a little time to write and I probably won't complete it for you to test before this weekend.

If anyone else is encountering something similar please post in this thread.

I can (try to) connect again right away. But every time I do that I get the same "<- OPZ" six times. (Only the yellow RX flashes on the TCB)

BTW the method of flashing and manually connecting afterwards works as long as you don't disconnect the TCB AND don't close OPConfig.....(I can connect/disconnect multiple times, unless I disconnect the TCB usb OR close OPConfig)

So I'm a little confused. In your first post you listed a Windows error that presumably occurred when you plugged in the USB cable to the TCB. Has that Windows error now been resolved, or is it still happening? If there are multiple issues we want to isolate a single one and deal with them one at a time.

That error has been resolved by disconnecting my XBox 360 controller from my PC. I forgot to mention that indeed.  :-[
I use a USB 3.0 port to connect to the TCB.

I'm seeing this when trying to connect on the Firmware tab:
Code: [Select]
<- OPZ
<- OPZ
<- OPZ
<- OPZ
<- OPZ
<- OPZ

Reset button method doesn't seem to work.

However, IF I flash the firmware I can connect manually to the TCB afterwards.

Code: [Select]
<- OPZ
<- OPZ
-> 133|133|0|27641
<- 129|129|0|-11428
etc.

This method only works once though......

Weird thing I noticed; I can use the snoop function and flash firmware........ :o

When I go to a different screen (Driving, Radio etc.) The COM port closes and I can't connect using top right.

Thanks for your reply!

TCB was already plugged in directly into my PC. Tried a different USB port and different cable, but no cigar.
No yellow exclamation marks in Computer Management and Devices and Printers.

OP Config shows the correct COM port and when clicking connect(115200 Baud rate) it attempts to connect and then gives me the "Disconnected from device" message.

Reinstalled the drivers about ten times already and I'm thinking about starting fresh tomorrow!
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.

I installed the FTDI Drivers and updated OPConfig. Now I'm connecting the TCB to my computer and I get a "USB device not recognized" message.

When connecting the TCB the red and green leds begin to flash rapidly for a couple of seconds, and the blue led keeps blinking continiously. The two (2) yellow leds closest to the usb port areflashing once when connecting the usb cable.

Dipswitch #5 is ON.
Only thing that is connected to the TCB is the FS-iA10B RX in S-Bus Mode.

My TCB and ESCs arrived today! I have to say the packaging of the TCB is quite nice.

I'll first have to update my Benedini TBS mini with the new software and then I can start tinkering!

Show and Tell / My TCB project
« on: July 11, 2017, 12:15:31 PM »
I have been wanting to try the TCB for some time now and the time has come! For it is available right now.

I'll be using my Torro JagdTiger project as a temporary place for the TCB, as I intend to use it in my upcoming Panther II tank.
JagdTiger is fitted with metal wheels, sprocket, idler etc., plastic HL King Tiger tracks, a 15W Visaton speaker with enclosure from Rctank.de and the DKLM RC Propulsion Dynamics Steel Gearbox (PDSGB). This allows me to test a few things, as my Panther II will have similar setup.

Items used:
-FlySky FS-i6S TX with FS-iA10B RX (S-Bus mode) [Have item already]
-6 Cell NiMh Battery (Between 3000 and 5000 mAh of capacity) [Have item already]
-Open Panzer Tank Control Board [Ordered]
-2x X-Car 45A Brushed ESC [Ordered]
-DKLM RC PDSGB [Have item already]
-Benedini TBS Mini [Have item already]
-15W TDA7297 amplifier for Benedini TBS Mini [Have item already]
-15W Visaton speaker with enclosure from Rctank.de [Have item already]
-Taigen Battle Unit [Have item already]
-Hit leds for Taigen Battle Unit [Have item already]
-High Power IR led [Have item already]
-Various leds for MG, lights etc. [Have items already]
-Taigen High Intensity Flash Unit or a Flash led (Depending on whichever I like the most) [Have items already]
-2x TowerPro MG995 Servo's for Recoil and Elevation [Have items already]

Currently waiting on the TCB and ESC to arrive before I can start.

I was finally able to install it. It seems the HIPS feature (Host Intrusion Protection System) from Comodo Firewall was the culprit. I find this a bit weird, since the very first installation of OPConfig v0.9.22 went without a hitch. Thank you for your replies!

Open Panzer Help / Installing OPConfig error
« on: February 13, 2017, 11:23:36 AM »
I have problems installing/updating OPConfig. So far I have tried Run as Admin, granting permissions, but so far no luck updating or installing. I was able to install v0.9.22 without any errors when it was released.
Error when updating (OPConfig Error.jpg)

Redownloaded the .EXE several times to make sure the file wasn't corrupt or something like that.
Error when using admin rights on the EXE to update existing install (OPConfig Error 2.jpg).

Previous version de-installed with Windows programs. Scanned the registry for any entries that may have been left behind with CCleaner. Afterwards rebooted and tried to install again. And still the error remains.
Error when using the .EXE with Admin rights with previous version de-installed. (OPConfig Error 3.jpg)

Program was installed on a separate internal hard disk called (D:\).

Question: Do you have to install the program with an .EXE installer in order to use it? Or can you extract it with a .ZIP (if it could be packaged this way)?
