Did you try to update Open Panzer Config ? After updating the tcb today I was prompt to update the configuration tool.

Hello, For some reason, my motors are not running properly. Reverse and left steering work fine, but right steering and forward movement do not. When I use "Snoop" on the TCB, it seems that the forward command is not being recognized. Could you please help me figure out what might be causing this issue? Thank you.

Oh that's great, I would like to get them if you dont mind sharingthem  ,I tried allready to convert the elmod sounds but they have some kind of an frequenz in there that breaks the sound.

Hello, is there any chance somebody has a ready sound set for the Pershing tank that can be used by the Open Panzer Sound Card ?

I have built my own smoker unit, and it works very well. The only issue I’ve noticed is that when you regulate the percentage through the OP Config, it still seems to use close to 100% power on motor startup. During the first second of startup, the heating wire sometimes gets extremely red hot.
I bought my own heating wire and, after doing some calculations, cut it to the correct length. I then wrapped it around a fiberglass cotton rope and enclosed it with additional regular cotton. After adding smoke machine fluid, I assembled everything into a housing. I also installed a small 5V fan and connected all components according to the Open Panzer Wiki instructions.
The system works great overall. It takes a little time to heat up and start producing smoke, but once it’s running for a while, it generates a significant amount of smoke.

Ich selbst benutze ja Windows 11  ich musste aber das Programm als Windows 8 kompatibel starten damit es die Farben richtig anzeigt, bei mir war fast alles weiß und konnte Garnichts mit machen.

Ich hatte das selbe Problem und habe es gelöst in dem ich das Programm im Windows 8 Kompatibilität Modus gestartet habe und dann war das Problem weg.

Hello, I’m not a developer and I don’t really understand what you’re doing there, but it sounds very exciting. I think many people would love to have a kind of TCB sound board again (similar to the Teensy 3.2). It’s especially cool if you can define all the sounds yourself using a micro SD card.
and if its going to be cheap ( becouse i think thats what the most people need, good and cheap) than thats gonna be the perfect solution for everybody.

Haha, you Lucky Man. Im still looking for how to get a TCB very cost effective xD. :'( Nice idea and then you could use it as a repair tank on the battlefield ? im Building a StuG IV right now and thats so much work and its only 1:16 Scale  ...My fully 3D Printed M18 Hellcat 1:16 was easyer to make how i think xD but it runs on an old Heng Long RX18 and the stug is gonna run on Open Panzer TCB.

Hallo Kettenpaul,
you are building a nice model there, a halftrack is on my list too.
i have a question to the Controll, are you gonna use the original TCB(Bought by torro) or how you are gonna controll it ?
Best Regards Ilias

I will try, its gonna take some time becouse my time for hobby is very limited. But i did some rough calculations and i think that the easyest and cheapest way is to order a pre assembled OP TCB from China (pcbway or so) and sound board+esc, if im not wrong it will cost you around 140€ in total(of course you still need a receiver and transmitter etc). If you order the fatfingers pcb and the electronics+arduino+sound board+motor esc= the price is almost the same but with the difference that you have to solder everything by your self and put the pcb together and hope you did no mistakes..but I will think about what is the better way for me and when I will start doing it, I will post it here. But as I said, very limited time xD
Best Regards

Hey, thank you very much for the information. I really appreciate your effort, and I truly love the work that has been done so far. I’m pretty sure that, from my point of view, your TCB is the best control board for tanks out there.
I’ll try to use the Fatfingers shield and reconstruct it, and I hope I’ll make it to the desired finish line =D. As a new member, it’s a bit overwhelming to understand everything that has been discussed in the forum — you basically have to read everything from the beginning, and that can take ages xD.
I am building a StuG IV right now with the original TCB and OP Sound Board and OP ESC, the elektronics are set up and working fine but i have to finish tank now and build something for the barrel elevation, barel left/right and recoil, all driven by servos but im not sure how to hook up everything (mechanicaly). And after that i would like to upgrade some older tanks of mine to a TCB (Arduino+Fatfingers)and test everything in a IR Battle.
Best regards,
Ilias

Ok, thank you for the replies so far, I really appreciate it.
So what would be the go to for low cost ? I read a lot about the shields that are done so far , baldogs shield and fatfingers, but I didn't quite get the difference, both need an sound modul and both need esc for drive motors, but both also can use servos for turret functions and both can use IR battle systems ? So what are the main differences,i really try to figure out the "best" about easy use, cost efficiency and most functions....I'm so confused about all that.i can do some soldering too as long it's not to much smd. I would like also to use home made IR transmitter/receiver for battle system.

Aber genau das ist mein Problem =D ich möchte nicht alles kaufen, ich brauche ja ein TCB 170€ bei Torro dann brauche ein Sound Modul was auch fast 100€ kostet dann brauche ich noch die Motor Driver und alles zusammen dann +- 250€ und das wird dann alles in ein Panzer verbaut der 100€ wert hat xD.
Ich habe einige Panzer und möchte alle über eine Fernbedienung benutzen (Ich habe die FrSky X9D+) und ich möchte die Möglichkeit haben auf die schnelle die Panzer auf die Selbe Steuerung zu bringen und alle gleich einstellen können. Deswegen fand ich Open Panzer so geil, das Menu ist sehr einfach gestaltet und man kann sehr vieles einstellen so wie man es braucht.
Ich finde es tatsächlich sehr schade das der Teensy 3.2 nicht mehr gibt.... =( könnt ihr nicht so ein Sound Modul mit einem neueren Chip einfach herstellen ? Ich kann sowas leider nicht =/ Das Heclo Shield hat aber die Motor Driver auch drauf oder muss man die Motor ESC noch separat dazu Hollen ?
Und ja ich habe deinen Beitrag für den Arduino Mega gefunden =D deswegen bin ich so heiß auf eine universale und einfache Lösung =D weil so ein Arduino Mega, kriegt man beim Chinesen für ca 20€ ich habe einen sogar hier auf dem bereits Open Panzer läuft =D aber mein Wunsch ist halt :einfach, nicht zu teuer, auf alle meine Panzer das selbe und am Liebsten Open Panzer xD.
Ahja, habe versucht heute mit einem FTDI Kabel die OP Motor ESC zu connecten aber das funktioniert leider nicht und wenn ich snoop nutze bekomme ich keine infos. Beim snoopen steht aber das er Verbindung hat aber so normal kriege ich keine Verbindung und über das tcb mit baudrate von 38400 kann ich auch nicht verbinden die ESC.
Ich finde es so traurig das es bisher keine lösungen gibt das selbe system wieder aufzubauen wie vorher mit Open Panzer Sound, ESC und TCB und das ganze vielleicht als eine einzige Platine.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Ilias
