New DasMikro kit for tiny tanks

Post by jimbo_wa »

I follow a few things on FarceBook, one of which is the company DasMikro and their 1/87th scale R/C products.

Saw that they were creating some pretty cool items that may be of interest for the smaller scale tank modellers and Rad!
(Links are to AliExpress and a seller I have used for a few years)

FrSky 7ch D8 Rx/3x 1A ESC/lighting control micro board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000891738437.html
FlySky 7ch AFHDS Rx/2x 1A Tank mix ESC/1x 3A singe direction ESC/lighting control micro board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000891639473.html

Common Features:
1. FrSky D8 or FLYSKY 2.4GHz AFHDS (model dependant)
2. 7 channel support
3. Integrated two standalone Bi-directional ESC (maximum 1A currency)
4. Integrated one Single-directional ESC (maximum 3A currency)
4. Micro size (16.0 x 10.0 x 2.5mm)
5. Operating Voltage 3.0V – 4.2V
6. Weight: 0.5g
Output Usage:
Servo signal output:
CH1: (Spare, normally use to control the sound unit or light unit)
CH2: (Throttle)
CH3: (Spare, normally use to control the sound unit or light unit)
CH6: (Spare)
CH7: (Spare)
Bi-directional ESC output:
OUT1/OUT2: connect a brushed motor, tank mode mixed controlled by CH2/CH4 signal from transmitter
OUT3/OUT4: connect a brushed motor, tank mode mixed controlled by CH2/CH4 signal from transmitter
CH2 is throttle and CH4 is steering
Single-directional ESC or LED output:
OUT5: connect a brushed motor or LEDs, controlled by CH5 signal from transmitter

There's also a redesigned tiny sound card based on the TBS Micro: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000895849210.html

This sound unit is developed for advanced users. It is ideal sound and light control system for 1/87 micro model RC conversion.
This sound unit is 100% compatible TBS Micro sound unit. This module does not have preload sound, you have to work with a
programming cable and software to upload sound and make settings before using it.

Compared to TBS Micro, the PCB size is reduced from 23.5mm x 11mm x 3.2mm to 13.5mm x 11mm x 2mm.

Features:
Sound quality 22KHz
Internal 1W amplifier at 8 Ohm speakers
Receiver signals are used for speed information
Fully assembled in SMD technology (no heavy, vibration sensitive components)
Very little dimensions and weight

Technical Spec:
Dimension: 13.5mm x 11mm x 2mm
Voltage: 3.7V to 5V (Note the maximum supply voltage of 5V!)
Current: app. 10mA without sound, app. 250mA at max. volume
Speaker: 8-32 Ohm
Output power: 1W at 8-Ohm at 5V; 0,6W at 8-Ohm at 3V
Proportional inputs: Positive Impuls 1ms bis 2,0ms
Sound quality: up to 22,05 kHz
