Anybody seen this Servo-Signal converter before?

Post by Kirpau »

Hello guys,

I have posted here a few times, looking for a way to get a gun recoil into my Stug 3 without braking the bank to much (I have got a Taigen V3 board and dont want to have to get a new).
Recently I found this converter board on a german website:

https://www.rctank.de/Taigen-Servo-und- ... ul-Platine

Problem is: There is literally no information on how it works, the description says (translated as good as I could :shifty:):

"This board allows the control of 2 servos (Recoil and Raise/Lower), aswell as adding a barrel smoker using a Taigen V3 board."

Sounds exactly like what i would want, but the lack of information makes me hesitate. Has any of you seen this before and knows if / how it works?


Thanks for any help :thumbup:

There exist no information about this piece of electronic.
This is from Taigen - ask them or send them a Mail...

Dominic is the dealer at rctank.de and he is ultra helpful,
E-Mail him and ask him what it is you want to know and as to translation why not use "GOOGLE Translate" ?
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

This would be perfect for using Taigen board in Mato tanks where there is two servos in the turret.

Good afternoon,
The Taigen Jagdpanther IR upper that Forgebear provided for a current Build has a Smoker and uses two servos. I noticed some extra Daughter boards but will have to take another look at it to see if any serious secondary boards are present.
regards,
Painless

Alright, guess I will send him an E-Mail and post here what I find out about this thing. Thanks a lot!

About the translation: I dont trust Google translate and thought my translation was good enough. Just noticed tho, that the website has an english version aswell :D

I speak a few languages care of a bounty that the army paid for each one I learned :haha:
Because like you I was unsure how accurate Google's translation service was I did some comparisons,
I have to say that it was correct each time although very precise, not at all "As Spoke" but I would trust it with languages with which I am unfamiliar.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Hello, are you talking about this? so I confirm that it is designed to operate a servo on a V3 plate or other, it is to be supplied with 5 volts plus and minus on the small white socket and the signal is done by tapping a plus 5 volts on the BB recoil switch
attached some photos sent by Dominique RCtank.de
bottom view of the plate

Top view, the 1 in yellow plus/minus 5 volts power supply, the 2, plus 5 volts, signal picked up on the Tir BB switchd

a friend operated recoil Sherman Tamiya, with this module
hoping to have been quite precise in my explanation, despite Gogle translate :{

I'm talking about this system, and not the one with the smoke module. As in the link!!!!
