Help! Are the DBC and HL flash compatible?
Hey all, havig some electronics problems with my tank, so Iwanted to throw it out to the community. I started with a HL Tiger I (RX-18, S+S, but all plastic). Ibought a DBC (NOT a dbcdc2, just to be clear) and connected that on. Then Idropped the flasher down the barrel...and couldn't figure out where it connects. The flasher box depicts removing something (unknown, but a two-prong connector Ithink) from CN3 on the RX-18, replacing that with the High-Intensite Discharge flash unit, and then plugging whatever that first plug was back into the two-wire tail that's haning off the flasher plug. Dunno what's supposed to be plugged in there, because Idon't have any unaccounted-for dangling wires. So it's just hanging off. I've now reassembled the tank and soldered in the DBC where it goes. Iget the motors running correctly, the turret turns and the machine gun fires. When Ipress the "K" button on the controller I get the "fire!" sound from the DBC, but no flash. G button fires the machine guns like normal.
Unfortunately, Istarted the dissasembly months ago and am only now re-assembling it, so Ihave no real idea what goes where, though most of it seems to be working. And here's the kicker...Igot, um...shall we say, overenthusiastic? Iwas annoyed at how Icouldn't get the hull off the chassis when Iwanted to poke around inside, and Ihated turning it over to switch it on, change the volume, etc...so Imoved all the switches and controlls to the turret. And then decided ina regrettable flash of genius to hook up all that spagetti mess of wires through mimi-deans connectors-you know, to make it easy to get the pieces apart, right? And I'm afraid Icrosswired something in the process >.<. So, in a nutshell, here's my questions:
-Is the HL High-Intensity flash unit compatible with the DBC?
-If left upstick is making the gun elevation cycle, did Iscrew something up or is it working correctly?
-Left downstick does nothing. Iwant to say this used to cycle the elevation, but Idon't remember. It certainly doesn't trigger the flash unit now. Oh, and this used to be an Airsoft tank, but Ichopped up the airsoft part. Left the motor intact in the tank (didn't know how to dissable it without breaking the tank) but it no longer shoots BB's.
-Did the airsoft EVER trigger the tank fire noise? Idon't remember.
-don't seem to remember how the IR flasher hooks up and is triggered. Anyone know A) where it pluggs in, and B) what circuit triggers it?
-Lastly, how and what do Iconnect to get the HL cannon flash unit working?
Ok, thanks guys! Hope this all made sense, and Iappreciate the help.</p>
