Turn
your favorite 1/35 static tank model into
R/C with proportional radio control and great sound!!!
(specifications
and design are subject to change without notice)
Overview
TK30 series controller uses 4
channels RC system to control R/C tank's forward/backward movement, sharp
turning, pivoting, turret rotation and gun barrel evaluation at variable speed 7A track motor driver
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
Support TAMIYA 1/16, TAMIYA 1/35,
HengLong and VStank IR
battle
Support
RealRecoil servo port Safety shutoff prevents
unwanted movement while signal lost
Auto R/C signal detection Miniature design(49mm X
39mm X 10mm) for 1/35 R/C Tank
Terminology
Ultrasonic
ESC is the ESC block which switch FET at ultrasonic speed, make motor
rotation very smooth and quite.
RealRecoil
allows you to recreate real gun barrel recoil movement with single & cheap servo
motor
V2 Smoker driver smoker fan/compressor speed is proportional to
engine RPM and Load

Assembly Guide
Set Main Gun
Function Mode to match your tank
hardware configuration (HL AirSoft, HL Recoil or TAMIYA Recoil),
Disconnect RX-18 and plug cables to the same connector on TK board,
Set
Sound Volume to middle
Connect a switch
cable (for example, HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable)
to
Switch Cable Port as power switch. Because HL tank already have
power switch on battery cable, you can just to short
Switch Cable Port's two pins or connect to a switch cable and keep it
switched on.
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. TK20 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).
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"
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.
Gun Barrel Stabilizer(GBS)
overview and installation
GSU is an
optional module of TK35. When GSU is turned on, it
detects the tank movement and
compensate gunrotation and elevation
to stabilize the gun automatically.
When GBS is turned on, operator can still change gun elevation and direction
under GBS compensation, GSU have the following features:
-
2-axis gun stabilization in turret rotation and gun
elevation.
-
Fully programmable gun elevation
real angle calculator allows GBS to work with different elevation
setup
,
- Fully programmable turret motor
controller allows GBS to work with different motor/gear box
setup,
- Auto reload position, Gun barrel goes to to
reload position after fire, and return to last position when reload when reload
time expired,
-
Adjustable
Engine deck level,
-
Adjustable auto reload position,
- GBS
unit d
imensions: 20 x
16 x 3mm.
- Unified platform design,
allows all existing TK35 can be shipped back to us to upgrade to TK35G2
Servo for GBS -
-Control
System: +Pulse Width Control 1520usec Neutral
-Required Pulse: 3-5 Volt Peak to Peak Square Wave
-Operating Voltage: 4.8-6.0 Volts
-Operating Angle: 45 Deg. one side
Power on GBS
calibration -
When power
on TK35G2, GSU starts a reset
process and must be kept stationary.
Head Light LED(
Or GBS Indicator before software version 3) is turned ON during
GBS calibration and you must
not to move the tank during
calibration. GBS unit is very sensitive and you should nottouch or vibrate the GBS
unit during power on reset. The process will take
around 2 seconds. Head Light LED will
be turned off when
calibrationcompleted.
If error occurred duration calibration, such as no GBS
unit connected, wrong wring, Head Light LED will not goes off.
An in-series 200-ohm resistor is needed for GBS LED
Mounting of GBS
-
The GBSunit must be mounted securely and
horizontally on the turret, here is an example, first
to use Tamiya 5mm square beam, cut into 5~6mm in length, make 1.6mm hole, then
glue to turret floor by cement
Bolt GBS unit with the screws came with GBS unit, and plug
connector to J6 port on TK22G2
For
accurate motion detection, it must be kept
within 5 degree with turret base plate.
mounting directions is as
shown in following picture. Servo
for elevation is Futaba S3003 in this
setup.
Turning GBS
on/off -
GBS can be turned on/off by move
right stick to top, move left stick to right, you can also hear click sound when
turn it on and off
Adjusting gun elevation angle -
The gun elevation
V gain setting is used to adjust the
amount of
gun elevation servo angle
to meet different mechanical setup. adjusting
procedures
are
-First to put TK35G2 board in IR programming mode.
-Turn
GBS on and moves the gun
barrel
to horizontal position.
-Tilt the tank for 15-20
degree.
-Use IR configure remote to
adjustservo gain value until the gun is
horizontal again.
-Power off TK35G2 board, remove
jumper and turn power again to leave
IR programming mode.
Adjusting gun elevation angle
calculator gains -
The angle
calculator's fast gain and slow gain settingsare used to adjust the
angle calculation, adjusting procedures are
-First to put TK22G board in IR programming mode.
-Turn GSU on and moves the gun
barrel
to horizontal position.
-Tilt the tank for 10-20
degree.
-Rotate turret in various speed
( from low to full speed), if elevation speed is too slow, increase slow gain a
bit, otherwise, reduce slow gain,
-rotate turret to 12 o'clock position,
tilt the tank
hull about 15-20
degree in various speed,if
elevation speed is too slow, can not keep up tank hull
tilt speed, increase fast gain a bit, if elevation moves faster the hull tile
speed and over the position it should be (overshoot), decrease fast gain a bit
-Power off TK22G board, remove
jumper and turn power again to leave
IR programming mode.
Adjusting
turret rotation motor control gains -
The turret rotation motor P , I and
D gainare used to
meet the characteristic of turret rotate motor and design on your tank. adjusting procedures are as the following.
-First to put TK22G board in IR programming mode.
-Turn GSU on
-Rotate
tank hull from stationary
to low speed, if turret motor does start well when tank rotation start, increase
start gain a bit, if turret motor runs too fast (overshoot) , decrease start
gain a bit.
-Rotate
tank hull in various speed( low,
middle and full) , if turret rotation speed is too slow, can't keep up hull
rotation, increase speed gain, otherwise, reduce speed gain,
-Stop
tank hull rotation from various
speed, if turret stops too early, decrease stop gain, if turret stops too late
increase stop gain.
