Hallo
ich habe ein Raucher Problem,es wurde hier schon darüber geschrieben --bei mir ist es anders
Beim starten beginnt der smoker seine Arbeit,
Beim gas geben fährt er auch mit hoch
Beim gas wegnehmen färt der smoker auch runter---alles gut.
Aber wenn der motor aus geht läuft der smoker weiter.
ich habe den smoker einen anderen schalter ,kanal zugewiesen,aber er lässt sich nicht ausschalten .Sender und empfänger habe ich auch schon getauscht.
es immer die gleiche Sache.
Wenn ich den smoker auf manuell stelle und einen analogen Kanal lässt er sich gut hoch und runter fahren.
habe ich etwas übersehen?

Auf der Platine steht auf dem Mosfet FDD8780 für smoker drauf, aber mit dem Multimeter habe ich noch nichts gemessen

ich habe jetzt diese Confi .gemacht und der smoker kann aus und auch wieder eingeschaltet werden.
Allerdings wenn der Motorsound abschaltet,aus geht, läüft der smoker weiter .

Hi Paul, I don't see a function to turn on/off the engine, I assume you must have selected "Auto-Start Engine with Throttle?" And then you must have defined an "Auto-Stop Engine when idle for" delay? Can you can post your .OPZ file so I can examine all your settings?
Anyway, I don't see why the smoker should not turn off, but I don't have a board to do any testing with here. The latest firmware update did make some changes to the smoker code. The change should not have any affect on the smoker turning off when the engine turns off, but just to be sure, it would be worth trying the prior firmware version and seeing if that makes any difference. The prior version is 0.93.78 and you can download it here (https://openpanzer.org/forum/index.php?page=priortcb). Right-click 0.93.78 and select "Save link as" to save it to your computer. Then flash it to the TCB with the "Use your own Hex" button on the Firmware tab of OP Config. Let me know if it makes any difference.
A few other comments that are not related to your question, but I notice some unusual things about the function triggers you have created:
- You are using the function "Airsoft/Mech Recoil - Enable," but these are enabled by default, so you don't need to assign a trigger to that function. The only reason you would use that function is if you were also using the "- Disable" function, and you wanted to switch between them. But you are not using the disable function, so this is unnecessary. You can delete that function trigger.
- Likewise you are telling the TCB to set the Drive Profile to 1 whenever the engine starts. This is unnecessary, Drive Profile 1 is the default and is already selected. The only time you need to assign a trigger to Profile 1 is if you also have another trigger assigned to Profile 2, and you want to switch between them. You are not doing that, so telling it to use Profile 1 is unnecessary and you can delete that function trigger.
- Finally, you have assigned functions to adjust acceleration and deceleration levels with engine speed. First of all, this immediately takes precedence over whatever acceleration and deceleration levels you have specified in Profile 1, so Profile 1 will never get used. But second of all, I don't think this associate makes any sense. OP Config lets you create any function-trigger pair that you want, but that doesn't mean they will be logical. What you have done means that the faster the tank goes, the slower it accelerates, and the slower it goes, the faster it decelerates. I have never tried such a thing, but I really doubt that is what you want.
If you want to use any inertia or momentum, just set the desired levels in Profile 1, and that's it, you don't need to do anything else, and you don't need any function triggers. Profile 1 will be applied by default and the levels you have set in Profile 1 will be active whenever you are driving.

so sind die einstellungen

Hi Paul, those settings look fine, but I still see no reason why the smoker should not turn off.
Since we do not know what the problem is, we must experiment.
First, please remove these unnecessary functions and do not add them again:
- Airsoft/Mech Recoil Enable (you have already enabled it in OP Config)
- Smoker Disable
- Smoker Enable
- Drive Profile - Set to 1
- Set Acceleration Level
- Set Deceleration Level
Then load the prior firmware version as I mentioned before, and let me know if this makes any difference. I don't expect it will, but we need to rule out every possibility.
Next, please also try assigning turning on/off the engine directly with function triggers. First uncheck the "Auto-Start Engine with Throttle" option and set "Auto-Stop Engine when idle for" to 0 (zero) in OP Config in order to disable both those options, then use function triggers to assign a switch on your transmitter to the "Engine - Turn On" and "Engine - Turn Off" functions.
Let me know if this works, and if so on which step of the above three the change was detected.

Hallo Luke
ich habe schon vor Deiner Antwort Einstellungen geändert.
Der Smoker geht an und aus so wie er soll
Auch über einen AUX Kanal lässt er sich aus -und wieder einschalten.
Es lag bestimmt an meine Komischen Einstellungen.
Der Panzer stand lange in der Ecke. Dann habe ich ihn vorgeholt und Motor Getriebe Umbau --Test gemacht in der Garage.
Erst als ich den Smoker in Betrieb nehmen wollte habe ich festgestellt das etwas nicht in Ordnung ist.
Luke , ein Lob an Dich, bist immer gleich zur Stelle.
Ich muss einfach genauer hinsehen was eingestellt ist oder was ich einstellen will.
Grüße von der Ostsee Wolfgang
( BT8 sehr viel Spaß)

Ok, I'm glad to hear that it's working. It's important to understand how the functions work, otherwise as I mentioned before it is certainly possible to create some function/trigger combinations that will result in unpredictable behavior.
On that topic I might mention once more that setting Acceleration and Deceleration levels by the Throttle command is yet again another one of these illogical combinations. It might function, but I am certain the result will not be what you want.
If you want to adjust the Acceleration or Decelaration levels while running, then you need to assign them to an analog aux channel on your radio. This is a valid approach which I have used many times myself, and it is very useful for observing in real time the effect that Acceleration and Decelerations will have on the driving of the tank.
However most people don't usually have 2 extra analog channels to devote to this, and besides, once you find the level that you like, it no longer needs to be adjusted. If for example you find that Acceleration level 4 is what you like, set it to level 4 under Profile 1 on the Driving tab of OP Config. Then you do not need any function-triggers at all. Profile 1 will always be active if a level is selected, and you will always be driving with Acceleration level 4. If you don't want any Acceleration or Decelaration constraints, simply uncheck those options in Profile 1 (uncheck Inertia and uncheck Momentum).
In short, you can use Acceleration and Deceleration effects if you want, or not. But it should be done using one of the methods I have just described. Assigning them to the Throttle command, or Engine speed, or other functions which by definition are related to acceleration and deceleration, is going to create very bizarre behavior, and may cause problems.
