Hi guys,
here it is you can build it using a couple of HL stock cables, obviously this works also with the Impact apple (tested today)
We have addedanew feature : the turret traverse is now proportionalinstead of standard HL on/off turning, this means that you canrotate the turret very slowly ;-)

That's easy enough. I wish El Mod would pass along something like this as well.

How many LED's could the Flasher circuit handle?

The flasher port can handle 2 leds series connected in parallel (same as TBU).
The flasher ring (supplied with the IBU) that fit the HL apple is wired the same way.

OK Thanks

Well done! Especially like the programming feature like the Tamiya stick setup.

Does this have provision for cannon flash?

Cheers for that info Scooter

Yes, the board have a port for a highpowerflash led

This would be a nominal 5V LED and not the Tamiya high voltage flash bulb, correct?

Yes, a 5 mm. high power white led

Ivano, I had a couple questions, possibly off topic, so I sent you a PM rather than post them here in your thread.
When you get the chance please read the PM, if you can answer the questions ... great, if not, that's ok too.
Thanks!

Hi Craig,
PM sent ...</p>

For those interested :

First and second batch sold out.
Preorder for the third batch open.
PM me for details
Thanks

On the specs for the sound, you mentioned:

"<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255);">- 2 channels sound with 3W/4 Ohm on-board</span>amplifier<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255);">(replaceable with optional 8W/4 Ohm one)</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255);" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255);">1 Channel dedicated to engine sounds</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255);" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255);">1 Channel dedicated to all other effects, with priority table to play them"

Are those 2 channels pre-mixed inside 1 chip, or will it be possible to tap into the " engine sounds " channel to power an "Acoustic Smoker" for exemple???<br type="_moz" /></span>

I asked Thomas about the pin outs, this was what I got

(side facing the front of the tank)
sensor front | sensor right
LED cathode | +5V
GND | GND
+5V | LED cathode
sensor left | sensor rear

I couldn't make sense of it, but if you can, then we should be able to hook up a 5 pin socket to the Elmod IR and use any other apple.

Yes it works, i'm using on one of my tanks an Elmod setup with HL and Tamiya apple.
The only thing to take care isto use the "sensor" frontinput.

Ivano

You would do the hobby another big favor if you could do up a quick schematic of how you have the Elmod using the TBU. I stated this project, had some issues figuring it out and ended up selling my Elmod stuff.

Hi guys,
Assuming that you have theElmod cable that connect the CSI card to the Elmod appleand looking at the 8 ways HL style connector the first groupof threewires are :
pink = GND
blue= +5V
green = led kathode
then we have a blank position, after this we have a group offour wires as follow:
orange = left sensor
red = rear sensor
brown = front sensor
black = right sensor
so, what we gonna do now ??? Well we need the pink, blue, green and brown that must be connected this way :
pink(GND) to TBU pin named V0
blue(+5V) to TBU pin named V+
Green(led kathode) to TBU pin namedLED-
Brown(FRONTSENSOR) to TBU pin named IRSIG
the free pin left on the TBUmust be connected to battery+ of the system (Elmod use +5V to supply the leds, Tamiya use 7.2V)
You can find the TBU connectionsimage with description andnamesusing google (type in : Tamiya battle unit connections)
(Sorrythis to avoid claims with image owners).
If not clear drop a line and when i come back to work at the end of the weeki'll make a simple schematic.
Cheers
Ivano

Thanks Ivano

Hello,

One of the first customer of the card made apost of his first impression and a couple of video here :

From the link above, a new standard way to properly test electronics:



And direct link to videos if anyone has problems accessing the IBU2 forum:

I am looking forward to this, and playing with some sound files.

Finally some official demo video about the IBU2 functions. The tank (M4A3E8 "Thunderbolt VII" Sherman) is by Scooter (I'm just the movie director) and is almost finished.

All functions as per latest firmware

Nice.

He may need to add some slack to the flash unit (if there is one). The barrel dip with recoil means something is getting caught and causing unwanted elevation movement.

I'm wanting to make sure I understand this correctly, the free pin of the TBU needs to be connected to a constant 7.2v supply?

@ ausf
Yes the servo recoil arm touches the inside of the turret when barrel is up, grrrr i have to open up the tank another time ...
@ Buckeye36
Yes sir, you have perfectly understood

cheers
Ivano</p>
