:) Hello, I don't want to say anything stupid, but the gun recoil is on the J2 plug at the bottom right, the black wire of the servo cord towards the outside of the board, I don't know this card? but personally on a TK 22/24 I needed to program it with the famous TV button control? There was only one plug that worked, from memory? Is the switch the Flash command? ( to be checked )

Hi, this is on the stock tongde board which has 2 servo plugs.....unfortunately the recoil isn't powered but the elevation is. As for the clark board I have the Centurion from Andrew Haya...just wanted to test the recoil before I began to fit it back into the tank.

:) I admit to being lost? the photo in the diagram is indeed a Clark TK 50, what is the original "Tondge" card? Is the reverse output not powered? tried reversing servo plug? see if inserted in the right direction?

It's the recoil on the main cannon I'm trying to test....it seems the tongde board has the servo ports but only the elevation port has power....the recoil servo port is not powered. I'll take a pic of the board and post it later :crazy:
I haven't wired the clark board yet, wanted to get the servo rest position right before attempting to attach the barrel as it could be too far in or out of the mantlet.

It was going to be ibu but now it will have to be Clark’s. I’m also building a Cromwell that’s annoying me and I have a crusader
