Hi Dean, sorry for the hassle. It seems like the last update of OP Config didn't include that libusb0.dll in the installation files. It was a fairly major update and apaprently that file got overlooked.

I've updated the Windows Installer program on the Downloads page, even though it keeps the same version number as before (v0.94). Try uninstalling OP Config from your computer once more, then downloading the file from Downloads and re-install. You can confirm that libusb0.dll is present by looking in your OP Config installation folder (by default C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenPanzer\OPConfig\), it should be there.

Let me know if that fixes your problem or if you have any other issues.

Thanks for the help! I have ordered some replacements.
I just installed today but I will try again.
I can snoop the board and everything else appears to be working.

Hi Dean, sorry to hear about the mishap. I can't say for sure whether you'll be able to fix  your Smoker port or not, it depends on what components were damaged. It almost sounds like this coincides with your connections problems, and if so that might indicate that something further upstream might have got fried as well, which would not be good.

But let's assume that is not the case. You can try replacing the smoker MOSFET and see if that fixes that port. Here is the part number and a link to DigiKey: IPD090N03LGATMA1

Fortunately it's a somewhat large part so shouldn't be too hard to unsolder and replace. I've highlighed the part in the image below.

As for the libusb0.dll error, rather than trying to update OP Config using its built-in updater, first uninstall OP Config from your computer (there should be an uninstall item in your OP Config folder in the Start Menu, but otherwise you can do it from Windows Add/Remove Programs).

Then go to the Downloads page and download the OP Config installer and run that. Maybe this re-install will fix your problem.

Hi Luke, I think I blew up my smoker port shorting it out while probing for voltage. is there a component I can replace to fix this?
I also cant connect to the tcb now, it will tell me to update firmware but using the connect button disconnects right away and flashing returns the attached error followed by a fail message.
Thanks!

That's a very interesting project Dean, I'll be looking forward to seeing what it looks like after you've printed it.

Hello everyone,

Decided to revisit an idea I had many years ago. I have had lots of fun playing around with 1/10 scale crawlers but always wondered how something tracked would compare.
After seeing a render of this beast on ArtStation I contacted the designer and he provided me with the mesh files to use as a reference.
The model will feature belt drive units with two speeds and neutral, sound, smoke, lights and a winch.
I hope to use one of the onboard motor drivers of the TCB to control the winch, and hopefully somehow control the servo for the gear select also.
I have been trying to make this model more repairable then my T-35 which is a bit of a shelf queen. All components have been designed to lift straight out (pogo pins for the decks) and I even plan to separate the drive units from the output shafts.
I am nearly complete the preliminary cad work and am almost ready to start printing!

Dean

Hi Paul, yes, I think you are getting to the relay circuit. The instructions on that page make clear that their smoke unit is intended to be connected to the throttle channel of the radio, meaning it provides smoke while driving, so it will not work with for barrel smoke.
