With this open source approach are you thinking that any ESC could be used with it. Like the Sabre tooth ESC's. The rest of the programming would be on the Raspberry Pi, for sound and battle?
RE New sound for the TK. The latest demo is on a TK 22?. It sounds much better. Sound never comes across youtube very well. All sound, I have witnessed on youtube just don't compare to real life.
Dan,
It's possible, but not so practical, Raspberry Pi is just like a CPU on a complete tank controller, not just a ESC like Sabre tooth, you also need ESC/Servo for turret and elevation, audio amplifier, some discrete component for other functions. and open source platforms crash, boot time is also too long, need over 40s (just image what what will be happened if a software crash occurred in your tank during the battle), consume much more battery power, so we just define it on high level and non fatal applications, like internet connection, telerobotic, target tracking pattern recognition
