THIS IS NOT 100% PLUG AND PLAY BOARD, SIMPLE CHANGE IS NEEDED FOR FULL OPTIONS

(specifications and design are subject to change without notice)

 

Overview

  • ACK40 series controller is the successor of successful TK20 series, uses 4-CH conventional PWM or 10-CH  S.BUS  RC system to control R/C armored car forward/backward movement, turning, turret rotation and gun barrel evaluation at variable speed

  • Ultrasonic ESC*2  for propulsion motor

  • 22KHz, 8-bit high quality sound with digital sound mixer

  • Maximum of 5 channel of sound track, main gun, machine gun, turret rotate, gun barrel elevation and engine sound can be generated at the same time

  • 3W sound output power

  • 0.8A BEC

  • EPM*2 for gun elevation(EPM1) and turret rotation/gun traverses(EPM2) 

  • Wide operating voltage rage, from 7.2 to 12V, support  3S Li-Po battery

  • Support air-soft gun with sound synchronization

  • Support TAMIYA and HL IR battle unit and format

  • Support RealRecoil servo port

  • Support Recoil Solenoid for 2nd Machine Gun( MG2 )

  • Support gun barrel stabilizer

  • Safety shutoff prevents unwanted movement while signal lost

  • Auto R/C signal detection

  • Miniature design(60mm X 50mm X 20mm) for 1/25~1/16  R/C Tank

Terminology

Ultrasonic ESC is the ESC block which switch FET at ultrasonic  speed, make motor rotation very smooth and quite..

 

EPM ( ESC/PWM module) is peripheral which can be switched to ESC or PWM mode, allows the user to drive brushed motor or servo motor, in ESC mode, ESC port is enabled, can be used to drive brushed motor, In PWM mode, PWM port is enabled to driver servo motor, sound effect stopped when servo motor reach end point, TK40 has 2 EPMs for gun elevation(EPM1) and turret rotation/gun traverses(EPM2),

 

EPM No.

Installation Guide

Set Upper Hull Functions (CN9) Mode to match your tank hardware configuration (HL AirSoft, or TAMIYA Recoil or MG recoil),

Disconnect RX-18 and plug cables to the same connector on TK board,

Set Sound Volume to middle

Install a switch cable (for example, HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable) to SW connector( Switch Cable Port)  as power switch.

 

Because HL tank already have power switch on battery cable path, so additional switch is not required, just to use a jumper to short pins in SW Cable port or connect a switch cable and keep it switched on.

 

When high current propulsion motor are used, such as 400/480 motor, power switch on battery cable path will not be able to handle, connect a switch cable (for example, HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable) to this port as power switch.

Connect a recoil servo to J2(Optional),

Rewire Air-soft unit if you want to elevate and depress gun directly, see "HL Gun Elevation and AirSoft Correction" section

Connect channel cables to receiver according to RC mode( See picture "TK series connector and pin assignments" ) . if you are not sure what mode you RC system is, just swap CH2 and CH3 and try again.

 

TK40 board has BEC( Battery eliminate circuit), can power receiver through channel cables, no additional battery is needed for receiver

 

Set CH1, 2 and 3 trimmer on transmitter to center position, Set CH4 trimmer on transmitter to most left or right  position,

Connect power adaptor( See FAQ )

Switch on TK board and transmitter, you should hear turret traverse sound. if not, please contact us.

gently move CH4(Multi function control signal 2) trimmer to center till turret traverse is gone.

gently move CH2(Throttle ) trimmer up and down if you hear motor hum sound.

Cannon firing sound should be generated and recoil servo should moves when move CH3 stick to most top position, if not, gently move CH3(Multi function control signal 2 ) trimmer up and down till it work correctly.

You are all set

Disconnect power adaptor and connect battery( make sure that battery is fully charged).

S.BUS setup

Transmitter:

1.Turn on Transmitter i6s and enter setting function, go to system->output mode, than set Serial to S.BUS

2. Enter aux channel setup, set channel 5 to SwA, channel 6 to SwD, channel 7 to SwB, channel 8 to SwC, channel 9 to VrA and channel 10 to VrB

 

Receiver and control board:

1. Plug connector with S.BUS label on it into S.BUS port on receiver.

HL battle unit installation: wire CN2 connector to HBU and  Flash Unit Flasher as the following

 

 Recoil Unit Installation

TAMIYA recoil unit installation( -T Version, or set Main Gun Function Mode to TAMIYA Recoil MODE )

STEP1. disconnect white and blue wire from recoil unit switch( see arrow in yellow), add cable connector to recoil switch( see arrow in red ), left green-white-blue cable not touched ( see arrow in green)

 

STEP2. green wire and white wire in green-white-blue cable goes to 3rd pin on CN9 and 4th pin on CN9(see arrow in green), black and red wire in red-black cable goes to 4th and 5th pin on CN3(see arrow in red).

 

 

 

HL recoil unit installation:

STEP1. Set Main Gun Function Mode to HL Recoil MODE,

STEP2. Connect detection SW( Pressed-to-Short type ) to 4th and 5th pin on CN3 or via the plug (Yellow and brown wire) from  HL HIGH-TENSION FLASHER. Latest released HL recoil unit already has detection switch on it.

STEP3. connect motor - to 4th pin on CN9.connect motor + to 3rd pin on CN9.

Asiatam recoil unit installation:

STEP1. Set Main Gun Function Mode to TAMIYA Recoil MODE,

STEP2. Connect  Recoil motor + to 3rd pin on CN9.connect motor - to 4th  pin on CN9.

STEP2. Connect detection SW to 4th and 5th pin on CN3 or via  the plug (Yellow and brown wire) from  HL HIGH-TENSION FLASHER

 

 

 

RealRecoil( Patent Pending) servo port allows you to recreate real gun barrel recoil movement with single &  cheap servo, what you need to do is to link servo and gun barrel then RealRecoil takes the rest. direction of servo movement can be set by user, please see section "Tank Personalization"

 

 

 GUN FLASHER Installation

HL Hop-up options "HIGH-TENSION FLASHER" can be easily installed and works with TK20 to simulate gun nuzzle flash when firing.

 

 LED GUN FLASHER Installation:

A white LED and cable connector are needed( Part Number is F003)

Solder color wire (red wire in this example) to long pin of white LED, black wire(-) to short pin,

Plug cable into J3.

 

IR battle emitter Installation

An IR  LED and cable connector are needed( Part number is IR005/IR010 ).

Solder color wire (red wire in this example) to long pin of IR LED, black wire(-) to short pin,

Plug cable into J1.

  

 

 Tank Personalization( Patent Pending)

Settings of TK series board can be changed by a IR configuration remote as IR command transmitter, and TAMIYA battle unit(TBU),  Heng-Leog battle unit(HBU), or our IR configuration line as IR command receiver.

 

Steps to change settings:

STEP 1: Turn power off, Turn power off, Turn power off,

STEP 2: Plug programming line/TBU/HBU through TBU/HBU base into CN2 Infrared Port ,  

STEP 2: Install a jumper to J2 as shown below, Turn power on,

STEP 4:Refer to function table listed below, point IR configuration remote to TBU/HBU/Programming line receiver, and press the button of setting that you want to change,  "*" sign in function table means the default setting that is programmed in factory

STEP 5: Indicator on TBU/HBU flashes according to new setting value.

STEP 6: turn power off, remove jumper on J2, then turn power on and TK board runs with new settings.
