Some time ago (oh, how long ago it was), I asked my beloved LukeZ if it was possible to make a Russian version of the help and a configuration program. LukeZ said that many have tried, but usually forgotten and failed. And what can I answer you? I figured it out in Qt! And I succeed! Many thanks to LukeZ, vonTirpitz for detailed explanations on setting up the development environment and more. My path was very thorny. I downloaded the OP Config source code from github and without a second thought downloaded the free version (registered) of Qt 6. I set up a project, I'm trying to build it - the development environment swears at the lack of seralport. I spent three hours reading both Russian and foreign forums, and it turned out what? It turns out there is a list of modules that have been removed from Qt 6!I am reinstalling Qt version 5.9.9. I edit the code in Russian, run it from the development environment - the program starts, it turns out! I can check the settings of the TCB board, but I cannot flash the firmware! Wrong COM port speaking. Yes, I'm not the smartest. For three days I was struggling with this problem, and today I decided to go to the forum to see if people are smarter than me - they described their way. Bingo! I uninstall Qt 5.9.9, put the version as specified by the respected vonTirpitz and LukeZ in this thread, voila: At the moment, I have translated more than 70% of the entire program: The work continues, I am very glad that I have mastered a new direction for myself. And now the problems: 1. I want to fully translate the help files. Please nudge me in a direction where I can learn how to compile a help file. 2. It is not yet clear to me what to do with program updates when new versions appear. What conflicts there will be. P.S. I'm also researching a small sound card based on LukeZ :

Hi LukeZ! Good day and good luck in everything!
I can’t understand how I need in the setup program - to change the output, which channel will control the left/right engine, which lift cannon, which rotary tower.
As I understand it, this does not change in the program, only in mixing using the remote control?
So that the commander’s observation tower rotates - separately, from another remote control source.
Mixing channels is my headache.
It seems clear, but it does not work.
I figured out the triggers a bit, but not completely understood. I want to know all the features of the settings, all sections.
P.S.
I am gradually translating Wiki Open Panzer into Russian, is it possible to add the Russian version Wiki Open Panzer on your official website?
P.P.S.
I redid my turnigy 9x to work with FrSky XJT transmitters and changed the firmware to ER9X, and the processor to a more powerful and more internal memory.

Good heavens, that is quite the jig! You are definitely not ignoring the small details.
Thank you dear mastermind! When I started this my way, I looked at your main circuit board, and as they say in Russia they say: "I look in a book, and I don’t understand what!"
But the road will be mastered by the one who goes along it!
It will take me a while to redo my old turnigy 9x console and I will continue the story.
Today I have tried most of the hints and advantages of the board, but I already see the enormous potential of the work of the author Luke.
At the moment - I am studying settings and configuring settings, triggers and more.
The only thing I miss is changing the assignment of the outputs of the RC channels.
And I also soldered the board, one more, but already using a handheld printer for applying solder paste, and melting the paste, you can see it in the pictures below.
That looks super profesional! People would buy them for sure!
To be honest, for me it is more a learning experience, I do not plan to sell my work based on someone else's global work.
For me it’s a hobby, and a desire to popularize Luke’s work.

After the war ended, and when I resigned so as not to go crazy, I participated in many rehabilitation programs.
In Russia, many who have never served in the army like to say without thoroughly that there is no support for veterans.
They are liars. They do not like their country, they talk nasty things about it, it’s bad.
Confirmation of my words is my work, the path is bad and not professional, but those who did not want to participate in the programs - they died due to drunkenness.
Why am I writing this? I want to set an example. What kind of education would you not have - if you want to -> you can go this way.
This is actually not difficult. You just need to say to yourself: "I will go this way, I can."
A long time ago, in 2010, I took soldering courses and got an additional civilian profession, past the existing military knowledge and military rank - an electronic equipment installer.
And although the author thought that I soldered the first board using a stencil - he was mistaken.
All components on this board are sealed with a self-made soldering station based on the STM32 chip, bought on Aliexpress using a T12-BC1 cartridge
During the courses I learned to control my hands after a severe head injury so that my hands would not tremble.
But a little later, I will show a home-made printer for paste paste.
I bought components for 10 printed circuit boards.
In the picture below, you can see the result of the printed circuit board soldered by my hands, using my homemade soldering station:

Now, after receiving my first work, I know my mistakes, and the author of the project encouraged me by indicating how many versions he released earlier!
I learned that you need to keep track not with wiring in the program, but you need to use terminal contacts!
I will definitely apply this when I do for myself - a sound card Open tank.
As many can see, I started this project in 2019.
I doubted for a long time whether I made the scheme correctly.
As a result, I told myself - do as you see fit, and if you did it wrong - then you can fix it!
After some time, 10 printed circuit boards arrived.
In fact, there was not much difference in price, ordering 5 pieces of boards, or 10. I thought more - not less.
If anything - I will give my first experience, provided that it works, to other enthusiasts.

I have never had any knowledge in the field of electronics.
As they say to the country, Japan is a bad warrior who studies only the military craft.
And when I saw that there was no open alternative, and found experience from the city of St. Petersburg, I realized what needs to be done for myself.
But I do not know how to make tracks in printed circuit boards!
The search engines helped with this, and I got to the EasyEDA website.
It turned out they have a development program!
Left a little!
Deal with the interface of this development program (I will not post links so as not to violate the rules of this forum).
I made such a shame (document 1):

I wrote the DENY here in the private messages section.
I am inclined to think that in Russia we don’t have a friendly atmosphere in this hobby, and he knows and remembers this, since he still hasn’t answered.
A lot of time has passed, and I'm not sure that he saw my message in the private messages section.
I decided that I write my way here, as I can in English, and maybe I can post a pdf in Russian, maybe.
But I doubt that it is in demand in my country.
Luke, let's not talk about this anymore, and focus on the development of your project, and my interpretation.
So that as many people as possible come to your project, and bring a new, useful one, all modelers need it!
P.S. At the end of my story, as I repeated your path using your experience - I will leave on this site - a complete guide in Russian in the format pdf.

Yes, I read that there are some difficulties.
But English is not my native mother tongue, and yes, and the maximum that I was taught in the army was the questioning of a prisoner of war.
Do I understand correctly?
Is there some kind of problem in the code that sometimes the processing position of the smoke machine switch does not occur?
Or am I wrong configuring triggers?
I can’t say for sure at the moment what firmware I have, but I tried the following parameters of your project, and I dance with joy:
The printed circuit board works. Partially figured out how it works.
Checked by:
1. The work of the smoke machine. Damn, cool, there is a proportion. But for today, a bug is saved in the firmware, the author has a note about it, it works.
2. Tower operation (ESC with commutator motor)
3. Work and calibration of the modes of operation of the lifting tool. (as in HL on the gear motor, and from the servo, in the mode of holding the position by deviation (pan-effect)
4. Rollback tools by means of servo. I did not spread Airsoft on my board, because I did it. I parted the pins of the mikrik of the airsoftorudia, and the power unit - laughed.
5. Light, dimensions, brake light, machine gun and their configuration via USB
6. Work from the Sbus successor. (I do not have an Ibus receiver, in my version of the board I implemented work from both types).
Not verified:
1. Work of a high-brightness flash of a shot (not available, there is a connector on the board)
2. Configuring the control board through the broomstick. There is a connector, there is a blue-tooth, it’s just that his hands have not yet reached his tests.
3. The operation of the motion motors, assembled on the tank, and the setting of delays, inertia and other things have not been verified.
4. Also, the logic of the jerk of the tank during firing has not been verified. Luke made changes there.
5. The port has not been tested for connecting the sound card of the openpanzer, Benedini and others, due to the reason I do not have it. I’m working on my version of the sound card from the openpanzer (I’ll just remove the flexibility and versatility of the original as unnecessary and reduce the size).
6. The operating modes of the IR battle and its performance have not been verified. .

Since there is such lively communication that it cannot but rejoice, the project must live and develop, and it is especially pleasing that the author did not abandon the project, I will write my question.
Although I started a separate topic in “show and tell”, at the stage of this post preparation and testing-studying the settings, I was faced with the problem that I can’t configure the settings when I:
I turn on the transmission, and the smoke machine toggle switch is turned off in turn.
The tank starts up and the smoke machine works.
To turn off the smoke machine, I have to click the smoke switch on the machine.
I read inattentively somewhere, and did not understand the settings, or is it not a bug, is it a feature?
How to make sure that if the toggle switch of the smoke machine is in the off position, when the engine starts, the smoke does not work.
P.S.
I don’t need a ready-made solution, just give me a hint where I should direct my efforts.
I’m interested in sorting it out myself, with a minimum of hints.
Спасибо. Thanks.

INTRODUCTION.
Some time ago, I wondered which tank control board I should use?
Will it be branded well-known proprietary control boards of well-known brands, or will I try to do something myself while studying arduino programming, or will it be something else?
It so happened that my searches and throwings led me to a huge work of a person, and I write this blog (I think I was not mistaken with the format and choice of the topic position for this post).
It all started with the well-known store hobbyking, where I came across a TCB board.
It immediately seemed to me very simple, terribly understandable, but there was a problem! The product has already been discontinued!
I was very upset then, and my wallet cried, which saw only one alternative. Proprietary boards of well-known manufacturers.
For some time I left my dream, started studying electronics, arduino, mastered a lot of technologies, went a long way in understanding how the author of the TSB did his great project, and I told myself!
Stop suffering! Quickly raised his ass, and applied the knowledge!
The great work of a compatriot from the city of St. Petersburg and the author’s comments both on this forum and on the forum in my country helped me in this.
(it’s very bad that the owner of the forum DENY does not respond to my requests to help me register on his forum, well then I will write here, on the forum of the author of the project, if this is not interesting and in demand in my country).
And I made up my mind. I decided to make my version of the board for myself, going all the way:
1. Creating a circuit in EasyEDA, repeating the path of the author of the original circuit board.
2. Checking the circuit, and ordering a printed circuit board in another country.
3. Ordering electronic components, a stencil for solder paste, practice soldering components using paste.
4. The study of the labor potential of the respected author of the TSB, in the do-it-yourself version.
5. Getting a board that I can’t buy already, having made it for myself and my projects.
I will write about this in this topic, describing all the difficulties that I encountered, being a dumb military, in the field of electronics.
P.S.
I apologize, I write in my own language, and use online translators.
I will be glad if my mistakes in grammar and spelling are explained verbatim to me.
I will be glad if they point out the flaws in my engineering approach.
I will be glad to any advice and criticism.

Stencil cost 7 USD.
Not so much money, and there was a big discount for the first order.
In the future, I am going to assemble a homemade plotter to cut a stencil for myself for free.
I really liked how easy it is to make a printed circuit board for your project, without much difficulty.

Well, I soldered.
I start tests and study the settings.

It seems to me pointless to prototype using a 3D printer.
My main mistakes in designing my version of TСB are unnecessarily large openings for connectors, and more functionality could be added.
It is only my fault and inexperience as well as inattention when designing a printed circuit board.
Of course, there are still errors from the technical point of view of the wiring of the conductive tracks, but I do not have the education to understand what I did wrong.
Ordering the first 10 boards, at the first registration costs incredibly little, thanks to the discount of the PCB manufacturer.
There are many ways to get this discount more than once ^ _ ^

LukeZ, I can’t imagine what kind of person you are. I seriously recommend inspecting your back in the mirror. There should be wings with white feathers.
