 +====== OPEN PANZER Wiki ====== 
 +Here you will find everything you need to know about Open Panzer products:  
 +  * **TCB** (Tank Control Board) -- a highly capable circuit board designed specifically for RC model tanks, but also suitable for halftracks, cars, and other RC models and robotics. It is available  for [[https://hobbyking.com/en_us/catalog/product/view/id/63061/s/rc-tank-openpanzer-control-board|purchase through HobbyKing]].   
 +  * **OP Config** -- the unusual name we have given to the free software that runs in Windows (sorry, no Mac/Unix at this time) and is used to configure the many options on the TCB and simplify firmware updates. To run OP Config you will need a Windows computer and a screen with a vertical resolution of at least 800 pixels.  
 + 
 +Two other products, the [[wiki:scout:start|Scout ESC]] and the [[https://github.com/OpenPanzerProject/OP-Sound|Open Panzer Sound Card]], are still in development and/or not yet available for purchase, but we still have complete documentation for them.  
 +=====Navigating the Wiki==== 
 +This Wiki is divided into sections:  
 +  * **[[wiki:tcb:operation:start|TCB Operation]]** - a high-level overview of some basic concepts, like how to drive, IR battle, what are Functions and Triggers, etc... 
 +  * **[[wiki:tcb:tcbinstall:start|TCB Installation]]** - In this section we devote a full page to every possible device the TCB can control or that you might want to install in your tank: from airsoft, mechanical or servo recoil, smokers, sound units, IR, flash units, lights and more lights, Bluetooth, you name it! The TCB can control a lot of stuff.  
 +  * **[[wiki:opconfig:gs:start|OP Config Introduction]]** - An introduction to the OP Config program and how to use it to connect to the TCB.  
 +  * **[[wiki:opconfig:tabs:start|OP Config Tab Reference]]** - Each page or "tab" in OP Config has its own section in the wiki that describes every setting.
