 Almost everyone will want to have the smoker controlled automatically by the TCB to reflect engine speed. But if you are not using a smoker and would like a general purpose, unidirectional speed control rated at 3 amps, or for some reason you just want to control the smoker manually, change the **Smoker Control** setting to **Manual** on the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:motors#smoker|Motors tab]] of OP Config. Only then will this function appear in the function list. When assigned to an analog trigger (such as a knob on your transmitter), the speed of any motor attached to the SMOKER output can be varied manually. Note that the output will be uni-directional - in other words, the motor will only turn in one direction from stop to full speed. If you want to reverse the direction you must physically swap the wires to the motor.  Almost everyone will want to have the smoker controlled automatically by the TCB to reflect engine speed.

-Almost everyone will want to have the smoker controlled automatically by the TCB to reflect engine speed. But if you are not using a smoker and would like a general purpose, high current capable digital switch, then change the **Smoker Control** setting to **Manual** on the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:motors#smoker|Motors tab]] of OP Config, and then these two on/off functions appear in the function list. When assigned to a digital trigger (such as a switch on your transmitter), the output of the smoker connector will be turned on or off. The smoker output will switch full battery voltage and can source up to 3 amps. Use this instead of a relay if you need to power a higher-current accessory and turn it on/off from your transmitter.   +Almost everyone will want to have the smoker controlled automatically by the TCB to reflect engine speed.
