Title: No engine signal
Post by: KeesK on March 08, 2018, 11:58:22 AM
Hallo Tankers
In configurating my TCB I have the problem that i do not get the signal for my engines running
The engines are steerd by channel 1 and 2 of the transmitter but there is no output on 1 and 2,   if I set it for RCoutput.
The same if I put it to the build in driver, the driver it self works because if I programm them for turret rotation and barrel elevation it functions
If I put the driving signals on channel 3 and 4 of the transmitter I also get no repons for the engines, but turret rotation and barrel elevation
do function on channel 1 and 2. Reading the radio I get proper signals on all 10 channels.
Porbably some thing simple as settings but sofar I have no idea what I do wrong.
Anybody an idea what I have to do to solve the problem?
thanks
KeesK

You need to create a function to start the engine. Until the TCB gets the engine start command, the vehicle will not respond to throttle and steering.

Assign this function to a switch, or if you don't want to mess with that check the "Auto-start Engine With Throttle" option on the Driving tab.

Connect your TCB to OP Config in Snoop mode to verify that you are able to start and stop the engine.

Easy to overlook without sound! Glad you got it working.
