Open Panzer Help / Odd Motor A B problem with turret rotation
« on: May 12, 2022, 02:19:49 PM »
For my turret rotation (slew on the 1/6 jagdtiger) I am using an actuonics linear actuator 12v. I cannot get it to work from the A or B outputs.

TCB is fed with 12v linear actuator is 12v, I can test the A and B outputs with a 12V LED and it works perfectly, but the linear actuator will not operate.
I can directly power the actuator and it works fine, what am I missing.
Specs if it helps.

Open Source Sound Dev / Openpanzer and Beier?
« on: March 17, 2022, 03:00:03 PM »
I’m starting a new 1/6 build, an Armortek Jagdtiger. I’m looking for better sound and looking into Beier. Can openpanzer be used with the Beier sound modules.

Open Source Sound Dev / Sounds lacking what else can I do
« on: February 12, 2022, 07:06:51 AM »

Not sure if the correct forum so please move if not.

In the 1/6 king tiger i have a benedini mini with 2x60w amplifier running from 24v and a pr of good 5" speakers (JBL) in an enclosure to improve the sound.

I find the sound lacking although better than the old speakers with no box, Ive tested using multiple different speaker configurations and none are amazing.

The benedini sound files are OK but things like startup are too fast and the gun shots are not great.

Any suggestions on how to improve the sounds? Im thinking custom sound files but cant find any suitable sounds. Or change sound card to an alternative.

Any ideas appreciated.

Open Panzer Help / Sabertooth 60a ESC problem with TCB
« on: January 16, 2022, 07:31:26 AM »

Fitting a TCB into our 1/6 king tiger which has an existing Sabertooth 60A ESC 2x60 v1.00.
We get no control via serial (well some eratic control). Sabertooth set as per TCB manual and connected correctly.
TCB set to sabertooth in config.

I have another T34 1/6 with very similar setup using a sabertooth 2x32 and TCB which works fine. I have swapped the TCB's over to eliminat that. The new TCB works fine in the T34 on the 2x32 with the same setting.

Any ideas?

« on: December 29, 2021, 05:25:40 AM »
On the 1/6 T34 tank I have the stock taigen muzzle flash and it works fine.
Im looking for better options to use on the 1/6 scale King tiger I am putting OP into. Some 1/6 used have adapted camera flash units but no real info out there.

Any electronics wizards that have a good idea that we can try.

Open Panzer Help / Not enough channel and channel sharing help
« on: August 25, 2021, 02:02:29 AM »
On the 10ch flysky I have run out of channels to do any more features so looking at creative ways of sharing channels. Suggestions welcome.
Channels are:
Gun fire
MG
Volume up and down on rotary
servo opening hatch on 2nd rotary
Toggle smoke on 3 way switch pos1
toggle light on 3 way pos 3
Engine start on last switch. (dont like auto start much)

I want:
2nd MG sound and light
User sounds ( i understand I can use 6 way rotary switch for this)

I combined smoker toggle with light toggle to free up a channel and that works, but either light is on or smoker is on i want both to work at the same time, eg smoker is on when light is on. its like they are out of sync.

Over to you to tell me what I can try next. Thanks

Show and Tell / 1/6 scale T34 project
« on: August 02, 2021, 02:16:10 AM »
Just introducing my sons tank.
It’s a 1/6 scale Russian T34 76 from mark 1 tanks.
We bought as a project and have rebuilt pretty much the whole thing.

Full metal chassis, cad designed and made in my workshop.
Original motors, tracks and sprockets with modifications.
Control is now a 10 channel fly sky and openpanzer TCB, sabertooth 32amp ESC.
Sound is benedini mini with additional amplifier, and 2 box speakers. Subwoofer is an under seat pioneer car speaker.
Smoke is from rcsmokers.com and works well, it’s water based so no odours or fumes.

Open Panzer Help / Smoker advise for 1/6 needed
« on: July 07, 2021, 03:42:44 PM »
On my t34 1/6 scale I’m wanting a smoker.

I have the TCB smoke outlet and I have both 12 and 24v available. Also a sabertooth esc.

I have a tarr on the 1/16 tank with less than impressive results.

I’m looking at rcsmokers.com and a water based unit is appealing.
Would I need a 6v, 12v or 7.2v with or without esc. Confused.

Any recommendations or advise would be great.
I’ll upload some build pictures soon.
