Awsome work on the Abrams YHR. I bet it sounds even better when it looks like one

. Absolutely love it! I want one for sure. How will it connect to the rx18? Does it just go between the board and the speaker? How have you disabled the track recoil?
The Abrams and the Panther is the work of someone else, and I can take no credit for the quality of these recordings. I just loaded the sounds into the card, but I will be sure to pass along the acknowledgement.
The sound card fits between the RX 18 and the 8 pin cable to the turret. All you will do is unplug the 8pin connector on the turret and plug it into this board. You then daisy chain back into the connector on the turret with another 8 wire cable. You then have to wire in a power supply and wires to both poles on the electric motors. Not sure if this part will be true plug and play. The current plan is to have screw terminals on the board for this part of the wiring. So no soldering. If you don't mind soldering there will be another option that bypasses the screw terminals.
On this tank the gun recoil fires on the left stick up. You don't press the fire button. All I did was make the mods to the recoil to have it go in the right direction, and then wired everything back up. The LED. fires off a contact switch on the mechanism, and the sound is triggered by the negative pulse used to start the recoil action.
