Hello, I try to run OpenPanzer in Car mode, and observe strange behavior. When I use built-in driver - all works perfectly:
- Motor connected to built-in 'A' socket
- Steering servo to RC output 2
but when I changed engine connection to external ESC (plug ESC to EC Output 1) - moving was available only for diagonals - (top-right, bottom-right forward; top-left,bottom-left backward), also steering servo moving on top and bottom positions of stick.
I've tried 2 TCB and 3 ESC - the same behavior on all of this.

Hi,
did you set DRIVE MOTORS to RC-Output ?

Hi,
did you set DRIVE MOTORS to RC-Output ?
Yes - exactly this settings change driving behavior.

Did you check the Channels on Radio Setup?

Hi Sergey, just wanted to let you know I've seen your question. I will try to replicate on my end, and if I encounter the same behavior, will track the bug. The fact it works with the onboard controller leads me to suspect it is not a bug, but who knows.
I am very busy this week so I don't know if I will get to it right away. I'll let you know when I do.

Ok! There actually was a bug, the dreaded "=" vs "==" in an obscure statement. I stared for many hours before I found it. The bug only affected cars and halftracks when the drive type was set to ESC.
Sergey I have posted a TCB firmware update (v0.93.44) that should correct this issue. Please re-flash your TCB and let me know if it works.
By the way, for cars and halftracks the steering servo should always work even when the engine is off.

I've tested - car type with external ESC works as expected. Thank you Luke!

Great! :)
