Gear change and Gun elevation
Hello people,
I have a few questions that I haven't found in the forum yet:
1) Gear change
I would like to change "Forward, Neutral, Reverse" gears through a 3-position switch in my controller. Neutral would just allow to rev the engine sound without movement. Would this be possible? I haven't found a solution yet.
2) Canon elevation problem
No matter in what setting, my gun elevation just goes through a "cycle" of continuous up and down movement. It is a Leo2A6 from Taigen and this is how it behaved already with the original controller, but I though this would change with a different motherboard (SFR-1-HL). Is this behaviour embedded in the servo?
Should I convert the gun elevation to have direct control as a servo in the X5 plug?
3) Canon elevation after shot
I would also like to implement a gun elevation sequence after the canon fires, the same movement of the real 120mm canons that put the breach into the correct position for the loader, how would you recommend doing this? Also through a servo sequence?
(example below)

Many thanks!

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
What type of elevation do you have? In case of standard Taigen "mechanical / spring" recoild and elevation unit there is no problem on Beier (I have this setuop on my Taigen Sherman), but servo elevation on Beier is still not resolved.

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
Hello Lucas,
1) Sorry this is not possible.
2) What kind of canon elevation do you have? Servo or motor?
3) I think this is not possible.

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
Ad 3) I would try to do this using sequence. If more complicated recoil movement is possible so up movement also.

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
But you cannot control a servo that is used for normal elevation also via a servo sequence.
A second servo (and additional mechanics) would then be necessary for this.

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
Hey thanks for the reply,
@MichalPL, @BEIER-Electronic Andy
This is what is inside (see pic below), I am no expert but are those motors?
Would a replacement like this one below solve the cycling motion problem?

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
They look like servos. But there are also modified servos that then work like a motor...
Does the gear on the servo make multiple turns, or does it only move 90°?

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
I have the same unit in my second Sherman. In case of elevation I use "direct servo control" with channel 3. It's not perfect as I have spring gimbal but I will probably modify it back to trhtottle type without spring.
I hope this elevation issue will be solved someday. For sure it is possible as it is implementent on other boards (Elmod, Clark, IBU, Open Panzer even stock Chinese Heng Longs, Taigens etc.)

Re: Gear change and Gun elevation
I would have to take it apart to test that. If I press the elevation stick up for example, it just cycles up and down non-stop, until I release it.BEIER-Electronic Andy hat geschrieben: ↑Do 20. Apr 2023, 10:13 They look like servos. But there are also modified servos that then work like a motor...

In any case, what do you recommend on each case (motor or servo)? Should I try replacing it with a servo just to be sure? Cannon elevation is one of the main features of the tank so I'll do what's necessary to fix it.
It would, I've seen some on youtube. I can't tell if this is a servo/motor issue or not, that would be the first step.MichalPL hat geschrieben: ↑Do 20.

A servo can also be controlled in such a way that it remains in the last position when the channel is in the neutral position. For this you simply use 2 servo positions: The only disadvantage here is that the speed is not variable, but fixed in the Sound-Teacher.
