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.

FAQs
Q:My Tk35 can not
register a hit from Tamiya tank.
A:
To check "Receive Tamiya IR code" setting. TK22 won't
response Tamiay IR code when this setting is disabled.
Q:
How to avoid damage that caused by short circuit to the board? A:Damage can be prevented by using a current limited power
adaptor as power source, first to find a ~6V, 400mAh power adaptor, 1K 1/4W ohm
resistor, LED and a motor cable(from HL cable Set)
then
connect + wire(with white strip) from adaptor to red wire of HL cable, - wire to
black wire of HL cable, adn wire resistor and LED as the following to act as
indicator.
Each
time, when you did some modification on circuit or after installation, use this
as power source fist. plug connect each by each, and LED will be dimmed
immediately if any shortage in circuitry and not thing on TK board will be
damaged because power can only supply low & limited current.
The
board might be act very strange when it's power by this, such as motor can not
moves will, cannon fired unexpectedly when turret rotation sound comes up, these
are quite normal because current is not enough.
Q: All function runs but just no sound!!
A:
This can be the
common issue on HL Volume Control
board, just to short outer pins of CN4 with
tweezers to verify it. if
sound comes out when doing this, the HL volume control board is broken.
Q:Tank
moves backward faster than forwards and does not turn. It only turn if firstly
turn steering stick and secondly throttle stick.
A: To turn off mixer on transmitter and test
again.
Q:Can get motor
sounds, cannon sounds, turret sounds, but no motion on either drive motors or
turret rotation gearbox
A: Check if battery voltage
is too low, auto cutoff function cuts motor off when battery voltage is too low.
Q:It
is possibleto change the
sound?
A:No, to change
sound on TK board required some equipment and technique, so you can not do it by
yourself, but we can if you send us processed
sound file(22KHz, 8-Bit format) that you want
to program into,
average lead time is 2 weeks, This service is free of charge with MOQ( Minimum
order quantity) of 3 units.
The following are the sound effect section you can change.
A: A piece of software
that convertsRudder and
Throttlecontrol signalto Left and
Right track speed signal. All TK board has mixer on it, mixer
function on RC transmitter need to be turned off.
Q:What is Safety shutoff:
A:
Controller cuts motor off and waits signal come back.
Q:What is Auto cutoff:
A:The motor cutoff will
occurred when battery input drops below minimum supply voltage of controller.
Q: Which RC system can works
with TK board:
A:Basically, TK can work with all kind of aftermarket RC system
as long as it's PWM system, here is a table list most popular one.

Q: Audio Amp thermal
protection:
A:
that turns off device when junction temperature over 150 degree C to prevent
damage
Q:
Is it possible to make additional settings using
existing IR signalsfor example to make
HL IR
signal and 9 hits can take, originally 5 hits?
A:
yes, IR code to receive, IR code to transmit, preset
& battle data can be set
independently.
Q:
Is it possible to set setting with other device
(not SONY IR code remote)?
A:Only Sony IR code remote can be used, you can also
have universal remote and configure it to SONY mode.
Q:Any Other
SONY remote, such as SONY Bravia unified TV
remote, can config TK20? A:
Can't sure, with more and more
setting function are added, some code not common on every remote are used. so we
suggest to use same remote as we use.
Q: What's BEC
A:BEC stands for
battery elimination circuit. This circuit powers the
receiver thought channel cable, no
secondarybattery source is required.
Precaution
Use dry battery or power supply as
power source at testing to keep burn down anything if any error on modification.
then use chargeable battery when every function working normally.
Read
carefully and fully understand the instructions before commencing assembly.
Metal
part on FET can not be touched with any metal when TK board is operating.
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
