 TBS Flash has many features and configuration options we will not use. The information here is not a comprehensive overview of everything the Benedini sound card can do, but only a highlight of the specific settings we need in order for it to work with the Open Panzer TCB.

 ===== Playing Sounds ===== ===== Playing Sounds =====
  
-Most sounds will be played automatically by the TCB at the appropriate moment for exampleif you trigger the Cannon Fire function, the cannon fire sound will play automatically, and if your vehicle is moving the engine sounds will play, etcThere are however some settings you can adjust in OP Config - the frequency of the squeak sounds, and few others. See the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:sounds|Sounds tab]] in OP Config for more+When you start the engine on your TCB, the Micro will be given a signal to start playing engine sounds. There is however no way to tell the Micro to turn the engine off instead, the Micro will automatically turn the engine off after 20 seconds of inactivity.  
 + 
 +The cannon and machine gun sounds will play when those functions are triggered on the TCB.

 + 
 +===== Advanced Usage ===== 
 + 
 +The Micro has many more features and possibilitiesincluding up to 12 sounds triggered through the Prop 3 inputThe TCB will not trigger these automatically but if you have a programmable radio and are comfortable creating advanced mixes you can still use the Prop 3 input directly. Either connect a channel from your receiver directly to the Prop 3 input on the Micro or if your receiver doesn't have PWM outputs you can assign free radio channel to the "RC Output 6 - Pass-through" [[wiki:tcb:operation:functions|Function]] in OP Config, and then connect Prop 3 on the TCB to Prop 3 on the Micro
  
-The optional User Sounds will only play if you assign a [[wiki:tcb:operation:functions|Trigger]] to themThey can be triggered to play once, or repeat until a second trigger turns them offYou can also assign triggers to functions that will let you increase or decrease the volume from a 3-position switch on your transmitterSee the [[wiki:tcb:operation:functionlist#sounds|Functions reference page]] for more details+For more information you may find these threads at [[https://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=24339|RCTankWarfare]] and [[http://www.openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=10434|OpenRCForums]] forums useful
