Show and Tell / Shorty's E8
« on: March 19, 2018, 08:35:07 AM »
Hello everyone! I am a new user of the Open Panzer. I just received my TCB a few days ago. I updated it with the new software and tried to get familiar with all the functions. I am just starting a new tank build that I plan to use the TCB for.
I am sure I will have a few questions, as I always do. Here is what I have to work with. I am building a new Tamiya E8 from the M4 105 1/16 kit. So far for the electronics side I have, Open Panzer TCB, Flysky FS-i6X Transmitter, FS iA10B Receiver, and Benedini TBS mini. I plan to use the Tamiya DMD as the ESC and would like to use the Tamiya speaker. I would like to have 2 machine guns, which looks to be possible. I will use the Tamiya Battle Unit (apple), IR emitter and either the Taigen flash unit (I have several laying around) or just a bright LED. I have already made a servo barrel recoil and elevation. The turret rotation will be stock Tamiya. If anyone sees any issues or has any extra advice I would love to hear about about before I get too deep and have to go back and change a lot.
I need to do a little more research on S-bus and I-bus. I am not sure which one I should use???
The other thing I would like to do, if possible, is to run 2 Transmitters. I would like to have 2 people control the tank.
One person would drive and the other would have turret control. I am on the fence on how to do that with the TCB so far??
Thank you,
Shad
