Open Panzer Help / Re: Motors swapped and ligths don't work

Yes, when arrive the new motors I will swap them, to change the wires now I need dismount all, I dont want dismount twice in just a few days.

Thank you for the advice.
I checked the Wiki, but for some reason I just found the hi bright flash.

Thank you again.

Probably the problem is that a motor is inverted, but I can't understand how if it is a stock Taigen that was working properly with a RX18 MFU.
I bought new gearbox and motors, I will connect them as the TBC need.

The reverse function in my ESC don't remove the reverse gear, I think it is called crawler mode in other ESCs.

At the moment, I'm working with all in reverse in OP Config and it work, when I go foward the TBC is thinking that I'm in reverse and the foward speed is limited (it looks the ESC are faster in foward than in reverse). I limited the foward speed  to a 25%, 100% in reverse, removed the null speed turn, mode 1 steering, and know my tank drives in scale like the real one after mesure the speeds, just reverse is faster, but it is acceptable, if I put 20% in reverse It doesn't have enough torque.
 Two futher small issues are that I can pass from foward to reverse without a futher touch in the stick, but when I need pass from reverse to foward,I need touch the stick foward twice.(due to the inversion direction in OP Config)

I bought new lights as look I burn them XD, some clue what resistors I need instal for original taigen leds?

I discovered that turret elevation with servo is not so precise as the original system. Probably the rods in a specific and calculated angle (trigonometry XD?)or travel  be better than random position of the servo with staples as rie rod XD

Just tell you my admiration for all the job you done, and for make it open source. Just tell you thank you.

You did possible I have this tank, as I can't pay other sound cards and MFU.
Really, you made me happy, I wanted this tank for years. A lot of years.
Do you allow me credit you in a video I will make?

Hi, Im getting crazy with my tank.
Finally I solved some things buy I still have problems and I need help because I dont understand what is the problem.
My tank is a Tigen full metal Early and I connected the taigen sound board.Motor are stock, the old ones.
Receiver is a Frysky compatible irange Fli14+ connected via ibus in the top pins.
Smoker DKLM V3 disconnected now.
Frysky FS-i6s , Mode 1 with spring
X2 ESC HPI , Reverse function desactivated. I think dont have brake, but not sure.

Motors problem.
In radio pahe all is OK and detect the movements like I want.
Ligth In board work rigth.
Nothing reverse, all sould work properly.
Nope, A motor work inverted to the other. I know left motor is in right side.
No way get it work. The left one work rigth, and I decide swap wires in the motor. Now the motors go in the same way but to go foward mechanicaly, the board and the configurator must show Im in reverse all is swapped. No other way than swap speeds,constraints etc, but now the problem is turning while drive is OK, but if I turn in 0 speed, is reversed, its crazy.

Lights: No one ligth work, there is current, 5V, but they dont work, they need a resistance or something, in the wiki dont tell anythind about modifications in the lights, and I connected straight foward.

Excuse my poor english
