Hi London Image,

The TCB doesn't really care what transmitter you're using, or even have any way of knowing. All it really needs is the correct signal to be sent by the receiver.

I've not used the Paladin but it claims to support PPM, iBus and SBus, all of which the TCB can read. I did a cursory search for documentation on how to activate these modes and it's very sparse, but hopefully you have a manual.

I did see somewhere that supposedly on the transmitter there is a receiver setup screen, and in there should be where you select the protocol. Supposedly if you set it to PPM the PPM signal will then come out of the channel 1 position of your receiver - so that's what you'd connect to the TCB. I couldn't see where the signal is supposed to come from when you set it to either iBus or SBus, but maybe that depends on the receiver. 

Anyway, this is what you will need to research, and figure out how to get the receiver to spit out your desired protocol, and then make sure it's connected to the correct pins on the TCB.

To my surprise, the answer to your question is: yes. I had forgotten all about it, but this question has come up before and we created a work around that does exactly what you describe.

See the Manual Transmission entry in the Functions list.

But basically there are three functions called "Manual Transmission - Forward / Reverse / Neutral" that you can assign to a three position switch. Presently it does require a three position switch for all three functions, so a two position switch wouldn't work. You can read more about when this change was added in this post: "Manual" transmission possibilty.

Give it a try and let me know if you have any issues.

Open Panzer Help / Reverse gear switch

Hi, I'm currently in the process of building up my cheetah piece by piece.. and I'm using my TX16S, which I have for my FPV copter flights anyway.. but the left stick doesn't have a spring, so I would like to have the left stick for throttle and a switch where I can then can shift into reverse gear.
Is this possible ?

Hi, is there any news here? I'm also currently in the process of rebuilding a Tamiya Gepard from scratch

Thanks for the tip, I'll test it shortly.

Yes, it is unfortunate that Adafruit discontinued that device because it was very easy to use.

As a replacement it should be possible to use a HC-05 Bluetooth module, which is very common and easily found. I have not tested this myself, which is why I have never had the occasion to put instructions for it in the Wiki.

One annoying feature of the HC-05 is that it cannot accept 5 volts signals on its receive pin (RX). Therefore a voltage divider must be used between the TCB Serial 1 Tx pin and the HC-05 Rx pin. If you have the new TCB sold by Torro, these have already been added to the board so you don't need to worry about it. But if you are using the old TCB sold by Hobby King, then you have to add them yourself between the TCB and HC-05 (I have attached a picture below that shows the voltage divider).

In either case you need to make four connections:

TCBHC-05
Serial 1 Tx
> (voltage divider) >
HC-05 Rx
Serial 1 Rx
<
HC-05 Tx
Gnd
=
Gnd
+5v
=
+5v

You need to pair the HC-05 to your computer, and whatever COM port Windows assigns to it, select that COM port in OP Config. On the TCB you need to set Dipswitch #5 to the OFF position, this tells the TCB to communicate over Serial 1 instead of using the USB port.

Those are the general instructions, but I would not be surprised if there are other details that would have to be figured out if one actually tested it. Unfortunately I don't have any boards in my possession at this time so I am unable to test it myself.

Hello,

The Bluefruit EZ-Link no longer exists.

what substitute can I use?

That's ok, take your time! Those sound like good improvements. When you get to the code testing stage, let me know, but there's no hurry.

I think I might see another problem where the reload delay is not being taken into account properly, but let's test this change first, and if that solves your problem, I will update the code and issue a release with this fix and a fix for the reload delay.

Hey Luke,

Sorry for the long delay, I was working on a new board layout where users can easily connect single relay to activate the taigen / henglong airsoft/recoil microswitch which activates the cannon sound and the irritating gearbox recoil. Also, i want to make a 3d printed case for the relays to store them stacked to save some space. Attached you can see a sample how it looks when two relay modules having an affair :D
 (sorry for the cable spaghetti)

Regards
Rongyos
