RE: First sherman run video
Briz:
You may want to re-set your DMD, and make sure your trims are centered when you do so. Setting off the guns and turning on the lights is done the same way (unless you rigged gun switches)
You have to slide the trim first, then almost jerk the stick to full throw. Too slow and the DMD doesn't get the right signal, and you get traverse.
There is a way to manually check the power, and you can use your unused 4.8 Rx battery. Use two scraps of wire and jump the Sherman light-harness leads to the battery. No, polarity does not matter, these aren't LEDs. The lights should light, though dimly. If not, you may have a crushed or blown bulb or a severed wiring line. I busted one bulb, and because they are all in series, nothing would light until I shorted across the busted bulb.
And before ya order a Pershing harnes... they aint compatible. Already tried it. I'm not even sure the bulbs are cross-compatible.
End of Sherman lighting lesson 101.
