OK,
i will use this for testing next week.
I am able to solder SMD and have the right equipment to exchange the wrong Mosfet.

Only driving, Sound and Turret is functional = 50% of the Controlbaord
I think this is a big Problem for HK.
They have to take back the TCB and refund the cost...

Look at the attached Picture, the PCB is right.
In sum are  8x IRLML2502 on the TCB.
How can i check Q6 to Q8 is work?

OK,
i see action, look attached Picture...
How much Voltage on Pin 1 (G) is necessary?
I mesure on Q4 pin 1 when Motor is off  4,92 Volt  when Motor is on  is 0 V
This is functional correct, but the Mosfet did not switch...
The Mosfet is signed 23EG...

How can I test if it is the right Mosfet?

I will order 50 pieces of IRLML2502 = 9,00 €  its cheaper than sending the boards back to HongKong
Then i exchange one, if this works, then I also solder the others..

Hi,
Ok i did the Test...
We have a Problem- the Lights did not flash - they allways on.
Only the Red and Green Led near the Input-Switch is blinking.

EDIT:
i think i find the Failure:
Q1 - Q5 are wrong Types:
When i trigger the Cannon, the is a short Signal arraond 0,8V on Q1
When i trigger MG there is a Signal arrond 2,2V on Q5

Hi,
did you not get a Production Sample?

 I set "Blink all lights when Radio signal lost" and turn off the transmitter.
No flash on L1/L2/MG/Brake.
The lights do nothing while connected to the computer in Snoop mode, they allways on.

Here is the Snoop Output:

Open Panzer Help / Lights did not work

« on: July 15, 2017, 06:17:55 AM »

Hi,
i setup the TCB as described.
Driving is beautiful.
Turret works great.
But all LED is on.
- MG LED is allways on - no flash on trigger, Sound work
- Cannon LED is allways on - no flash on trigger, Sound work
- Light 1 and Light 2 did not react on trigger
- brake LED is allways on

I checked it on all my four TCB and it is all the same.... 

Look at the configuration:

Show and Tell / First Test...

« on: July 13, 2017, 12:35:53 AM »

Hi there,
Yesterday the boards arrived by UPS. 
Most important cables connected and go...
Here the test set-up:
- Transmitter Turnigy TH9x with AR9x Board and Frsky XJT Moduke
- Reciever Frsky X8R or Quanum FR8 (both work great)
- 2x Brushless 18/50A Sensorless ESC
- 2x HK Track 380 Sensorless Brushless Motor 3200KV
- some Servo



The parameterization of the Controlbaord is very easy.
Connect the Reciever to OPCBoard and and turn on the transmitter => Do not forget to bind the transmitter and receiver before!
Plug USB in OPCBoard - its powered by USB and start up automatically.
Start the Open Config and push "Connect" - If this done push "Read Radio".
Is everything connected and set correctly, this should look like this:



That was the hardest part...
Now you can make the settings.
Have Fun!
