I am looking forward to this one, Were you able to add the interface to a computer so you don't have to mess round with a remote for IR and other board settings

Nice tight looking Board

Ohh boy! I might have to ditch the Tk22 and get one of these for the Leo 2HEL build. This looks awesomed

Looking good! Can't wait to try one! I better get one of the first :)

TK60 and Tk22 have different market postion, and the cost too, you can now choice the one that meets your need.

Indeed, we spend lot of time on pcb layout to put everyting together

Settings can be packed as sound files and programmed

Clark, please email me at [email protected], I would like to have a discussion with you about a few things. Thank you

That is great news. I will be purchasing a couple of these. Still on track for a November delivery?

this side of the hobby seems to be getting some strong and versatile Boards for us tankers :-)

Any New and exciting soundpackages for the release of this Board ?

Yes, I hope customer can have it before Xmas holiday.

We will release T-90 when HL release its T-90 by end of this year.

This is news to me..!! Cool!

Good work Clark :)

After the release of TK60, what we like to do next year is to leverage the raising of open source and link it with our product,
TK22/TK60 to do the low level and real-time task,like track ESC, gyro stabilizer, and an open source hardware, such as Rasbarry PI, to do the high level task, like video and audio streaming, internet connection, telerobotic, target tracking pattern recognition, fuzzy logic engine sound simulation in CD sound quality....

If anyone here are interesting in this please let me know, maybe we can work together to spped up the development.

Regards,
Clark

This will make a nice Christmas Present.. Any idea on price yet

Open source hardware is not expensive, about $35 usd for a Rasberry Pi board, the major problem is software cost, so I think a new business model will come out and it has no power stage, so a TK board is still needed.

Btw, we just finished new engine sound simulation for TK, the result is over my expectation, will fine tune it and extend to 16/32 steps to see how it performances

Sounds good, can an existing TK20 or TK22 be upgraded?

Clark

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.

Yes, existing TK20,TK22 and TK35 can be upgraded. And this upgrade also include 2nd MG on AUX port feature

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

Yikes!! 40 seconds could cause a lot of trouble.

Hi Clark, any updates on release date and cost? :cool: Would like to put a TK 60 in my 1/8 Tiger II.

Hi, MAUS45,

H/W is 100% done, will post demo video this or next weekend, start to mass production in about two weeks when H/W stress test are passed, too many products in the pipeline now, will give you details later

Clark
