Hi Kevin,
I apologize because re-reading my first post I have noticed that I missed to add some basic info :
- I usually play with gliders, offroad 1:10 scalers, elys and some other rc-ized "stuff".
- I use a Turnigy 9X with er9x onboard and tank model setup extracted from tankER9X (it works great !!!) and your RC5HL
I'm used to custom all my models, I like to understand "how it's made and works"
The first thing I noticed opening my tank is that elevation and rotation systems are really low-level items: slow, inaccurate and not proportional so I decided for a servo solution.
For elevation servo, I tried to remove radio internal spring ad it's fine as I expected, also I trigger vertical stabilization with a ely gyro (wonderful effect). Maximum servo travel is locked with radio EPA. For turret rotation I modified a standard servo for continuos rotation, added a bevel gear and modded circular HL gears to fulfill its job.
Obviously I update my model setup according with this new configuration, so ch3 is used only for elevation and ch1 for rotation. Original switch are used for Main gun and machine gun.
My problem has an electronic/logical nature : I can't bypass RC5HL pluggin' servo directly to my receiver because RC5HL doesn't start if any 4 is missing and, again, I can't use Y link for same reason. Using my own servos for 1-5 channel and HL RX18 at the same time seems to be not possible at the moment
I read and saw your thread/video about GEKO and Sirvoe: I think I don't need Sirvoe 'cause I modify my radio but for GEKO solution I have to do some other test.... and hope in a your positive answer
PS: sorry for my english in advance
