Open Panzer Help / USB Device not recognized

« on: July 13, 2017, 01:51:46 PM »

I installed the FTDI Drivers and updated OPConfig. Now I'm connecting the TCB to my computer and I get a "USB device not recognized" message.

When connecting the TCB the red and green leds begin to flash rapidly for a couple of seconds, and the blue led keeps blinking continiously. The two (2) yellow leds closest to the usb port areflashing once when connecting the usb cable.

Dipswitch #5 is ON.
Only thing that is connected to the TCB is the FS-iA10B RX in S-Bus Mode.

Show and Tell / My TCB project

« on: July 11, 2017, 12:15:31 PM »

I have been wanting to try the TCB for some time now and the time has come! For it is available right now.

I'll be using my Torro JagdTiger project as a temporary place for the TCB, as I intend to use it in my upcoming Panther II tank.
JagdTiger is fitted with metal wheels, sprocket, idler etc., plastic HL King Tiger tracks, a 15W Visaton speaker with enclosure from Rctank.de and the DKLM RC Propulsion Dynamics Steel Gearbox (PDSGB). This allows me to test a few things, as my Panther II will have similar setup.

Items used:
-FlySky FS-i6S TX with FS-iA10B RX (S-Bus mode) [Have item already]
-6 Cell NiMh Battery (Between 3000 and 5000 mAh of capacity) [Have item already]
-Open Panzer Tank Control Board [Ordered]
-2x X-Car 45A Brushed ESC [Ordered]

Currently waiting on the TCB and ESC to arrive before I can start.

Open Panzer Help / Installing OPConfig error

« on: February 13, 2017, 11:23:36 AM »

I have problems installing/updating OPConfig. So far I have tried Run as Admin, granting permissions, but so far no luck updating or installing. I was able to install v0.9.22 without any errors when it was released.
Error when updating (OPConfig Error.jpg)

Redownloaded the .EXE several times to make sure the file wasn't corrupt or something like that.
Error when using admin rights on the EXE to update existing install (OPConfig Error 2.jpg).

Previous version de-installed with Windows programs. Scanned the registry for any entries that may have been left behind with CCleaner. Afterwards rebooted and tried to install again. And still the error remains.
Error when using the .EXE with Admin rights with previous version de-installed. (OPConfig Error 3.jpg)

Program was installed on a separate internal hard disk called (D:\).

Question: Do you have to install the program with an .EXE installer in order to use it? Or can you extract it with a .ZIP (if it could be packaged this way)?
