cannot wait. Trying to get my Panzer III ready. Servo elevation doesn't seem to work. Clark Board.

Lets keep our fingers crossed 🤞🤞that it doesn’t rain the week of the battle. The museum will cancel even if the ground is a little wet.

Servo elevation needs to be enabled in the Clark board using the Sony remote in order to work. If it is not enabled, then the system defaults to ESC control and not PWM (servo) control.

[SoCalBobS]

Until you get the Clark board configured correctly, you can use S-Bus but plug the elevation servo into the appropriate socket in your receiver. Not the best, but a temp fix.

[quitcherbitchen]

it just spins the servo to the right. I messed with the radio but not the board.

[quitcherbitchen]

Using the programmer fixed it.

[tank_me]

Using the programmer fixed it.

Yeah, it will twitch and do all kinds of weird things if it's not set to PWM.

My daughter is at home from school for her winter break. She helped me on making some flags of the other two countries that we did not have at our last battle.

[Rubicon99]

How about some British and Canadian too. Maybe some even UN as well.

[DavidN]

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try to make some then.

[DavidN]

I was advised that the Swastika flags might not be appropriated if they are to be placed on the German tanks when we battle at the museum. I made the flags with the crosses instead.

[quitcherbitchen]

Nice work David.

[761st]

Nice work to you both.

[quitcherbitchen]

So the weather report says rain by 10 am. I assume it will cancel the battle.

[RichJohnson]

They canceled the event on tuesday because there is a lake sitting on the battlefield

[quitcherbitchen]

Ahh, I looked at Farcebook and that is a lake were we fight. Not much of a Farcebook user so I don't really remember to check there.
