Install
a switch (for example, HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable)
to SW connector( Switch Cable Port)
as power switch.
HL tank already have power switch on battery cable path, so additional
switch is not required, to use a jumper to short
pins in SW Cable port or connect a switch cable and keep it switched on.
When high current track motors are used, such as 400/480 motor,
power switch on battery cable path will not be able to handle,
connect a switch cable (for example, HL Smoke Unit Switch Cable)
to this port
as power switch.
TK60 board has 0.8A BEC( Battery
eliminate
circuit),
can power receiver through channel cables, no additional battery is needed for
receiver
Set trimmers on transmitter to center position,
Connect TK60 to battery or power adaptor( See FAQ )
Switch on TK60
board and transmitter,
Send
different commands( see control mode diagram) to test each function, if board
not functions accordingly, adjust trimmer on transmitter.
In HL original design, gun
Elevation and AirSoft sharing same driving H/W, so the gun elevation can only be
controlled in one direction, if you missed the angle you want, you will
need to wait a full cycle of gun elevation, to correct this problem, we add
dedicate AirSoft control h/w to TK20 board. the following shows you how to
correct HL tank and get two direction elevation.
The
picture below is original wiring in HL tank:
Modify
it as the following:
Green
box in the diagram above represent the small PCB in tank, small red,
black, blue ... orange in it represent the wire color.
1.
Disconnect red wire between safety switch and gun barrel elevation unit.
2.
Change original 3P connector to 4P type, add additional wire from safety switch
to 4P connector,
3. Add
4P connector HUL-8P PCB connector
4.
AirSoft unit is now controlled by red-black pair, gun barrel unit is
controlled by red-white pair. and you can connect 8P connector to CN9 on
TK-18/20 with original cable.
Here is a video of airsoft setup for Taigen
Tank
HL Tail Light Correction
Tail
Light in HL tank is wire to MG light, so the Tail Light flashes when MG firing,
this is very funny to us, to correct this problem and make tail light to be
controlled with Headlight, please refer to the picture below and rewire it.
1. Remove 2 pin plug from PCB, twist angled
pins to opposite side,
2.
Connect Tail Light LED + pin( Red wire of Tail Light cable) to CN9.3 pin(
Yellow wire )
3.
Connect a 200 Ohm resistor between 2-P connector pin and CN9.2 pin(Green), a SMD
type resistor is used in this example to save space.

Gun Barrel Stabilizer(GBS)
overview and installation
GBS is an
optional module of TK60. When GBS is turned on, it
detects the tank movement and
compensate gunrotation and elevation
to stabilize the gun automatically.
When GBS is turned on, operator can still change gun elevation and direction
under GBS compensation, GBS have the following features:
-
2-axis gun stabilization in turret rotation and gun
elevation.
-
Fully programmable gun elevation
real angle calculator allows GBS to work with different elevation
setup
,
- Fully programmable turret motor
controller allows GBS to work with different motor/gear box
setup,
- Auto reload position, Gun barrel goes to to
reload position after fire, and return to last position when reload when reload
time expired,
-
Adjustable
Engine deck level,
-
Adjustable auto reload position,
-
Gun barrel momentum effect,
- GBS
unit d
imensions: 20 x
16 x 3mm.
Servo for GBS -
-Control System: +Pulse Width Control 1520usec
Neutral
-Required Pulse: 3-5 Volt Peak to Peak Square Wave
-Operating Voltage: 4.8-6.0 Volts
-Operating Angle: 45 Deg. one side
Power on GBS
calibration -
When power
on TK60G2, GBSstarts a reset
process and must be kept stationary.
Head Light LEDis turned ON during
GBS calibration and you must
not to move the tank during
calibration. GBS unit is very sensitive and you should nottouch or vibrate the GBS
unit during power on reset. The process will take
around 2 seconds. Head Light LED will
be turned off when
calibrationcompleted.
If error occurred duration calibration, such as no GBS
unit connected, wrong wring, Head Light LED will not goes off
GBS LED - is a optional
indicator, turned on when GBS is on
An in-series 200-ohm resistor might be needed,
please see GBS LED port in Connector and Pin Assignment information
of each board for details
Mounting of GBS
-
The GBSunit must be mounted securely and
horizontally on the turret, here is an example, first
to use Tamiya 5mm square beam, cut into 5~6mm in length, make 1.6mm hole, then
glue to turret floor by cement
Bolt GBS unit with the screws came with GBS unit, and plug
connector to J6 port on TK60G2, Length of GBS cable can
not exceed 80mm or TK60G2 may miss reading GBS.
GBS unit wiring diagram
For
accurate motion detection, it must be kept
within 5 degree with turret base plate.
mounting directions is as
shown in following picture. Servo
for elevation is Futaba S3003 in this
setup.
Recommended GBS mounting position for Leopard 2
Turning GBS
on/off -
GBS
can be turned on/off byGun Barrel
Stabilizer on/off commanded,
you can also hear click sound when turn it on and off
Adjusting gun elevation angle -
The gun elevation
V gain setting is used to adjust the
amount of
gun elevation servo angle
to meet different mechanical setup. adjusting
procedures
are
-First to put TK60G board in IR programming mode.
-Turn
GBS on and moves the gun
barrel
to horizontal position.
-Tilt the tank for 15-20
degree.
-Use IR configure remote to
adjustservo gain value until the gun is
horizontal again.
-Power off TK60G board, remove
jumper and turn power again to leave
IR programming mode.
Adjusting gun elevation angle
calculator gains -
The angle
calculator's fast gain and slow gain settingsare used to adjust the
angle calculation, adjusting procedures are
-First to put TK60G2 board in IR programming mode.
-Turn
GBS on and moves the gun
barrel
to horizontal position.
-Tilt the tank for 10-20
degree.
-Rotate turret in various speed
( from low to full speed), if elevation speed is too slow, increase slow gain a
bit, otherwise, reduce slow gain,
-rotate turret to 12 o'clock position,
tilt the tank
hull about 15-20
degree in various speed,if
elevation speed is too slow, can not keep up tank hull
tilt speed, increase fast gain a bit, if elevation moves faster the hull tile
speed and over the position it should be (overshoot), decrease fast gain a bit
-Power off TK60G2 board, remove
jumper and turn power again to leave
IR programming mode.
Adjusting
turret rotation motor control gains -Turret
rotation motor P , I and D gainare used to
meet the characteristic of turret rotate motor and design on your tank. adjusting procedures are as the following.
-First to put TK60G2 board in IR programming mode.
-Turn GSU on
-Rotate
tank hull from stationary
to low speed, if turret motor does not start as quick as tank hull rotation, increase
I gain a bit, if turret motor runs too fast (overshoot) , decrease I
gain a bit.
-Rotate
tank hull in various speed( low,
middle and full) , if turret rotation speed is too slow, can't keep up hull
rotation, increase P gain, otherwise, reduce speed gain,
-Stop
tank hull rotation from various
speed, if turret stops too early, decrease D gain, if turret stops too late
increase D gain.

Q:

A: Change "Gun elevation servo direction"
setting by
press " Teletext
ON(0x3F)" or "" key
on IR Configuration Remote to select
Q:How
to use
Motor Additional Pad to connect 540/550
motor?
A:
Solder thicker wire to
Additional Pad to reduce resistance
Q:My Tk60 can not
register a hit from Tamiya tank.
A:
To check "Receive Tamiya IR code" setting. TK60 won't
response Tamiay IR code when this setting is disabled.
Q:
The airsoft motor does not run until after the gun fire sound has played and the
reload sound has happened. I want the airsoft motor to run while the gun sound
plays. I also planned to make recoil work with the airsoft…but when I fire the
gun, the recoil servo operates in time to the sound…but has returned to the
normal position when the airsoft motor operates. A:Just need to set Main Gun Function Mode to AirSoft mode, then
cannon sound, servo recoil and airsoft unit will be synchronized.
Q:I already set Main
Gun Function Mode to HL AirSoft MODE, but
AirSoft motor does not run when
I give fire cannon command.
Q:
Airsoft unit fires continuously and have no cannon sound.
A:When main Main Gun
Function Mode is configured to AirSoft
Mode, TK60 start to drive AirSoft motor (thought CN9 3rd &4th pin) when fire
cannon command is received.
when Airsoft just fired, Airsoft switch is closed , Tk60 knows it thought CN3 Pin4
& Pin5.
and then stop to drive Airsoft Motor and start to generate cannon. So in order
to make it works properly, AirSoft motor need to be connected to CN9 pin3
and pin4. AirSoft switch connector to CN3 Pin4
& Pin5.
You can
simply test it by a
tweezers, to short and release
it will stop AirSoft motor.
Q:
How to avoid damage that caused by short circuit to the board? A:Damage can be prevented by using a current limited power
adaptor as power source, first to find a ~6V, 400mAh power adaptor, 1K 1/4W ohm
resistor, LED and a motor cable(from HL cable Set)
then
connect + wire(with white strip) from adaptor to red wire of HL cable, - wire to
black wire of HL cable, adn wire resistor and LED as the following to act as
indicator.
Each
time, when you did some modification on circuit or after installation, use this
as power source fist. plug connect each by each, and LED will be dimmed
immediately if any shortage in circuitry and not thing on TK board will be
damaged because power can only supply low & limited current.
The
board might be act very strange when it's power by this, such as motor can not
moves will, cannon fired unexpectedly when turret rotation sound comes up, these
are quite normal because current is not enough.
Q: Tank hull
recoil movement direction is not correct, moves forward and then backward while
firing main gun. A: Just need to swap motor cables, CN6 to Motor
Right, CN7 to Motor Left, and turn on servo reverser function on throttle
channel from radio transmitter.
Q: All function runs but just no sound!!
A:
This can be the
common issue on HL Volume Control
board, just to short outer pins of CN4 with
tweezers to verify it. if
sound comes out when doing this, the HL volume control board is broken.
Q: Do I need noise filtering capacitor on motor
A:
Yes, it's needed to prevent back EMF to interference TK20 board. All HL stock
tank already have it on motors
This type of capacitor is not good, DO NOT USE!
Q:Tank
moves backward faster than forwards and does not turn. It only turn if firstly
turn steering stick and secondly throttle stick.
A: To turn off mixer on transmitter and test
again.
Q:Can get motor
sounds, cannon sounds, turret sounds, but no motion on either drive motors or
turret rotation gearbox
A: Check if battery voltage
is too low, auto cutoff function cuts motor off when battery voltage is too low.
Q: What
is
Mixer
A: A piece of software
that convertsRudder and
Throttlecontrol signalto Left and
Right track speed signal. All TK board has mixer on it, mixer
function on RC transmitter need to be turned off.
Q:What is Safety shutoff:
A:
Controller cuts motor off and waits signal come back.
Q:What is Auto cutoff:
A:The motor cutoff will
occurred when battery input drops below minimum supply voltage of controller.
Q: Which RC system can works
with TK board:
A:Basically, TK can work with all kind of aftermarket RC system
as long as it's PWM system, here is a table list most popular one.

Q: Audio Amp thermal
protection:
A:
that turns off device when junction temperature over 150 degree C to prevent
damage
Q:
Is it possible to make additional settings using
existing IR signalsfor example to make
HL IR
signal and 9 hits can take, originally 5 hits?
A:
yes, IR code to receive, IR code to transmit, preset
& battle data can be set
independently.
Q:
Is it possible to set setting with other device
(not SONY IR code remote)?
A:Only Sony IR code remote can be used, you can also
have universal remote and configure it to SONY mode.
Q:Any Other
SONY remote, such as SONY Bravia unified IR
Configuration Remote, can config TK20? A:
Can't sure, with more and more
setting function are added, some code not common on every remote are used. so we
suggest to use same remote as we use.
Q: What's BEC
A:BEC stands for
battery elimination circuit. This circuit powers the
receiver thought channel cable, no
secondarybattery source is required.
Precaution
Use dry battery or power supply as
power source at testing to keep burn down anything if any error on modification.
then use chargeable battery when every function working normally.
Read
carefully and fully understand the instructions before commencing assembly.
Metal
part on FET can not be touched with any metal when TK board is operating.
