TSK  Tank Smoke Controller

 

Overview

  • TSK controls air pump and heater to create cannon gun smoke effect

  • TSK sense cannon signal from TK board to trigger smoke fan.

  • Smoke function ( Heater and Fan ) can be turned on/off via radio

  • Support Bore evacuator ( fume extractor ) effect

  • Bore evacuator effect can be turned on/off via hardware setting

  • Additional ESC*1

  • Support MG smoke effect

  • 0.8A BEC

Terminology

Bore evacuator evacuate smoke after firing.

 

Cannon Air Pump to pump air for cannon smoke effect

 

 

MG Air Pump to pump air for MG smoke effect

 

Smoke Box that used for Cannon and MG smoke, the fan on it is not needed.

BEC stands for battery elimination circuit.This circuit powers the receiver thought channel cable, therefore no secondary battery source is required.

 

 

Convention Annotation

Ports, Pins are sometimes annotated by " ( Device.peripheral.port.pin ) " format, for example:

 

(TSK.CN1.1) means Pin 1 of CN1 on TSK board

(TSK.CH1 ) means  CH1 port on TSK board

(TSK.CH1.1 ) means  Pin 1 of CH1 port on TSK board
