Hello,
Luke, thank you for the so positive feedback on my humble experiments! By my opinion OpenPanzer is a perfect project, which gain possibility to adjust electronic components for our needs with no dependencies from big vendors such as Taigen, Tamiys, Clark, etc.
I'm trying to popularize TCB in our Saint-Petersburg club (with Deny).
Thank you for share you experience with other motor drivers - I've seen some of them, but their parameters price/quality isn't optimal (quality, I think, good, but price is too high for self-made items). One of general problem at the moment - no available sound card (may be Open Source Sound will be available to purchasing soon
).
I would like to propose several improvements (of course if current theme ok for this):
- OP Config: add vertical scroll bars (if it possible)
My laptop has screen resolution 1366x768, and part of items on tabs are inaccessible in full-screen (for example Driving \ Turning Adjustments). It would be nice, if vertical scrollbars appears when content can't fit to the screen.
- Damage profile: Add one more damage profile (to Experimental \ Tamiya) without speed degradation.
At the moment in our club most of tanks are Taigen \ HengLong. And in OpenPanzer we can set IR protocol to Taigen - but all Taigen MFU doesn't have speed decreasing after hit - it's gain advantage to them. I think, that damage profile without decreasing speed can equalize chances.
- Triggers: Cannon reloaded; Cannon shoot
These triggers can help to realize some interesting effects, cartridge ejection after shoot, enable/disable LEDs reload cannon or something else.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with QT, but another features I'll try to realize.
