Programming Clark TK40S Board

Post by OKC_Jim »

I'm in the process of putting a Clark TK40S board into a HL StuG. Wrapping up the install and I'm trying to program the board.

As an example, I'd like to turn on 'momentum'.

Following the steps from Clark.

1. Turn off the tank.
2. Plug in the IR receiver and LED Indicator.
3. Put the jumper plug onto the two specific plugs.
4. Referring to the table, I see that 'momentum' is one of the sleep buttons. I push the button and the LED flashes once.

I need it to flash twice to indicate that 'momentum' has been turned on. What do I do to get it to flash twice?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You press the sleep button again and it will flash twice. Same for options that have more than one state. Each time you press the button it goes to the next state.

Thanks Michael,

But when I push it (any button) again I get the same number of flashes.

As an example with momentum, I push it once. It flashes once. I push it again. It flashes once.

As an example with mixer mode, I push it once. It flashes 5 times. I push it again. It flashes 5 times.

Maybe this will help. If I push 0, I get the sound of an incoming round followed by an explosion. I don't remember how many times it flashes.

Thanks,

Jim

on the instructions you have two versions,
1: in conventional 4-Channel PWM mode
2: in sBus mode, different channel assignment?

Thank you for the links Jofaur but I'm not seeing anything in them like my situation?

The closest I see is the final link. I was following the steps in that video but thought I was missing something. I can't seem to cycle through the options for a particular function. If I push a button for function XYZ, I get a certain number of flashes. If I push it again I get the exact same number of flashes. Rinse and repeat.

I did notice in the Clark instructions it shows to jumper J2 and it shows this as the inside plug. On mine J3 is inside. J2 is is the far outside plug. I tried both. No difference.

Thanks,

Jim

OK I understand, but I was asking if you were already using the correct Joystick scheme according to the iBus system or not, as indicated? attached a link on another forum, explaining the functions of the Sony remote control? I assume you are using the battle Infra Red system, hooked up, for your settings? otherwise the indisputable specialist of this forum is "Maxmeker" since Clark reseller
