Open Panzer Help / Re: Henglong Airsoft Motor Spins but doesn't operate?

Hi Chris, have you tried swapping the motor wires? I haven't tested one of these units, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Heng Long decided to use a red wire for negative...

Open Panzer Help / Henglong Airsoft Motor Spins but doesn't operate?
« Last post by FuzzyJack on January 18, 2025, 06:54:39 AM »
Hi all,

Wiring up the TCB to the Henglong Sherman and I've made a couple of adapters so I can connect the existing Henglong plugs to the TCB, including one to allow the two XH connectors from the BB unit motor and trigger switch to connect to the 3 pin RECOIL connector on the PCB. 

Basically it just puts the two black wires to pin 1 and then wires the red from the motor to pin 2 and the red from the trigger switch to pin 3.

When operating the cannon the motor seems to try at least to spin and makes a horrific noise doing it but the mechanism doesn't fire so it never hits the trigger switch.  After a while it stops.

I've tried with an old spare BB unit as well and it did the same thing.    Am I missing something?

Obviously the Airsoft rewiring instructions are for the Taigen unit but I assumed the henglong would be the same as it's just a motor and a microswitch.

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi Tanker, no the TCB doesn't have any gear-shift functionality.

Is there a way to simulate gear shifting like the Elmod Fusion board with the TCB?

"Best" is relative to what you need or want. Benidini is certainly the best in terms of sound quality and options, but of course as Jürgen says, it's discontinued. The Chinese have cloned it, but I don't know how hard or easy it is to get the firmware for it. I'm sure it exists on the internet somewhere if you search for it.

The Open Panzer sound card is not in production, and the processor that it uses was discontinued forever during the Covid crisis, so that one is out.

The Taigen sound cards are cheap and plentiful, though of a lower sound quality.

TCB Dev / Re: OP-Config Qt 6 upgrade
« Last post by LukeZ on January 05, 2025, 01:06:53 PM »
Thanks for testing Chris. As far as I can tell from your screenshots, the application looks the same on your hi-res screen as it does on mine, so that appears to be finally fixed. I've seen screenshots other users have posted before this update, and you're right, the text was all messed up and nearly unusable. It's shameful that this problem took so many years to resolve. I am extremely grateful to you for taking it upon yourself to work on this, for the benefit of everyone. I see from your commits on GitHub that you started tinkering a year ago this month! I know you must have spent a great deal of time and effort; just getting Qt going is a major undertaking.

I feel confident enough in these alterations now that I've accepted your pull request and the changes have been merged into the source repo.

I've also created an official new release (numbered 0.94 as you suggested), and it is posted to the Downloads page or available for updating within any prior version of OP Config.

Once again thanks for all your help. If you come across anything else that needs attention, just let me know.
