  • Added TCB special menu to adjust steering servo end-points when used with halftracks or cars. Enter menu by setting Dipswitch 3 to ON and 4 to OFF, then press the INPUT button for 2 seconds. End point adjustment is done in the same manner as for the turret elevation servo, see this page for a video tutorial.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Changes in this release will cause all EEPROM settings to be reverted to default after the firmware is flashed. It is advised to save an OPZ file of your settings before updating the firmware.

Fix bug that prevented track recoil from synchronizing with airsoft under certain conditions. Also increase airsoft running time slightly after pellet has been fired in order to make sure we have fully passed the switch.

Fixed a bug that prevented the engine sound from stopping on the Taigen sound card. Bug was introduced as part of changes made in version 0.93.01 on 4/7/2018.

  • Increased number of positions possible for "digital" aux channels, from 3 to 6.
  • Increased number of user sounds from 6 to 12 (presently can only use the full amount with the Open Panzer Sound Card)
  • Various other updates that will work with the Open Panzer Sound Card such as a Light 2 sound option and an optional idle sound to be played only when the vehicle is damaged in IR battle, in the manner of Tamiya.
  • Attempt a work-around for the Benedini Mini's apparent inability to play the engine shutdown and vehicle destroyed sounds at the same time.
  • User now has the option to enable/disable the Apple cannon-reloaded notification blink (on the Lights & IO tab of OP Config)
  • Add digital functions for control of the Motor A & B outputs. When not used for turret/motor control this allows the user to repurpose them as high current (2 amp) switches, like built-in relays that provide switched VBatt.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Changes in this release will cause all EEPROM settings to be reverted to default after the firmware is flashed. It is advised to save an OPZ file of your settings before updating the firmware.

Version 00.92.21

  • Add a "no damage" option. Useful for those battling against stock Heng-Long/Taigen tanks that register hits but do not apply speed reductions.
  • Added a "cannon reloaded" trigger.

Version 00.92.20

  • Add Toggle Dim Level function - when assigned to a digital trigger, will toggle the Aux output state between the preset dim level and off.
  • Add steering, turret rotation, and barrel elevation channels as variable triggers. In addition to the throttle command trigger already added in 0.92.18, this allows us to remap or copy any of the stick channels to other (variable) outputs.
  • We now permit halftracks with independent tread control to use RC outputs for the independent drive, but in such cases the steering servo will need to be moved from its usual location till now at RC Output 2, to RC Output 4. In this case the ability to use an RC output for barrel elevation will be overridden. When halftracks are used without RC control (such as serial motor controllers) then the steering servo is kept at RC Output 2 and the barrel elevation output is unaffected.

Version 00.92.19

  • Increase PWM frequency of Aux output from 2kHz to ~16kHz, in order to decrease the noise (whine) when
    the Aux output is used to drive small motors.
  • Fix a bug that caused the engine to automatically start on boot when used with the Benedini TBS Mini
    sound card (as opposed to waiting for the explicit command to start from the user). This bug was found
    to have been introduced on 8/12/2017 with v0.92.10 firmware.

Version 00.92.18

  • Added visual notification of cannon reload - LEDs on Apple will blink twice when cannon reload is complete
  • Added three new variable triggers which can be applied to analog functions: throttle command, engine speed,
    and vehicle speed.

Version 00.92.17

  • Corrected the synchronization of track recoil when used with airsoft devices.
  • Force a re-execution of all function triggers when exiting radio failsafe. When signal is lost some channels can change values as the radio glitches, this will help restore all settings to their correct values when the signal returns.
