MFK01 Series RC Tractor Controller

MFK01, an integrated RC car controller,

for upgrading TAMIYA RC Tractor into proportional radio control with Light and Sound Effect

 

 

Overview

  • MFK01 series controller uses 2.4G, 10-Ch S.BUS RC system to control R/C truck forward/backward movement, turning, gear change and coupler

  • Miniature  design allowed your to keep interior of diver cabin

  • Ultrasonic ESC Propulsion motor driver

  • 22KHz, 8-bit high quality sound with digital sound mixer

  • 15W Class-A audio amplifier

  • 0.8A BEC

  • Support vibrate motor support

  • Wide operating voltage rage, from 7.2 to 12V, support  3S Li-Po battery

  • Safety shutoff prevents unwanted movement while signal lost

  • Auto R/C signal detection

  • V2 Smoker driver

Reference of installation to keep interior of diver cabin

 

Terminology

Ultrasonic ESC is the ESC block which switch FET at ultrasonic  speed, make motor rotation very smooth and quite.

 

V2 Smoker driver smoker fan/compressor speed is proportional to engine RPM and Load

 

Class-A audio amplifier widely used in high fidelity amplifier market due to their absence of crossover distortion and reduced odd-harmonic and high-order harmonic distortion.

Installation Guide

 

 

S.BUS setup

Transmitter:

1.Turn on Transmitter i6s and enter setting function, go to system->output mode, set Serial to S.BUS

2. Enter aux channel setup, set channel 5 to SwA, channel 6 to SwD, channel 7 to SwB, channel 8 to SwC, channel 9 to VrA and channel 10 to VrB

3. Go to system->stick mode, then set to M1 mode

4. Go to end points page, set end point to 100% for every channel.

 

Receiver and control board:

1. Plug connector with S.BUS label on it into S.BUS port on receiver.

 

Personalization

Settings of MFK series board can be set by cconfiguration IR remote and programming line( as follow)

 

 

 

Steps to set parameters:

STEP 1: Turn power off, plug programming line to CN2,

STEP 2: Install a jumper to J2 as shown below, turn power on,

STEP 3: Point Configuration IR remote to programming line receiver, refer to function table listed below and press the button

of function that you want to set,

STEP 4: Indicator of programming line flashes according to the setting value.

STEP 5: turn power off, remove jumper on J2, then power on and you are set.
