MG2

[Sherman1981]

Clark tk board CH4 is wired to a led. Was hoping that pressing the MG2 button I hear a gun shot but no flashing led. From CH4 the led just stays permanently on like a light basically. Do I need to change Sony remote settings to fix this issue?

Good evening, Ch 4 is the channel 4 input of the receiver? if I understand your explanation correctly? there cannot therefore be a Led MG connected directly? or did I misunderstand? ? what type of card do you have? TK 24/40/50/80 ...
what type of transmitter do you have? standard or bus system?

@Jofaur86 The newer version of the Clark TK50 uses some of the unused Channel ports on the SBus version for other connections now.

Yes I have the sbus system. I can fire both machine gun sounds. However CH4 a red light lights up permanently instead of flashing with the machine gun sound / button. Is there anything on the Sony remote I need to press to enable the CH4 function as an LED flash?

Question ? Ch.4 is it on a handle of the transmitter, on a switch or a potentiometer? ??

I'm a bit confused also after looking through Clark's docs. My educated guess is that CH4 MG2 function is for the non-Sbus type boards and the CH4 is triggered with stick movements. For the Sbus boards, VR A triggers the MG2 LED connection wired to pins 3 and 4 on connector CN9. In order to make that work you need to select option 8 (Power button on remote). This is a just an educated guess at this point since I've never hooked up an MG2 on a newer Clark. Hopefully this helps.

Hence my question? what kind of plate? if I rely on the latest info from Tank me, the MG 2 led is connected to CN 9 ​​and therefore would work from an inter or knob? so direct on Ch.4, knowing that there is only plus and minus and command signal, would explain why the Led is permanently lit?

if it is possible to use certain outputs Ch.? I do not understand well (but possible) how one activates the functions starting from the transmitter? since as said before, there is only permanent 5 volts, and control signal?
