If using Asp one can plug Sirvoe into the sirvoe port or even the Remora port on the Juno sound board. All Sirvoe needs for this mode is a 5V supply.

A GA250 would connect between the receiver and ANY control unit (GEKO, ASP, EL MOD, Clark, IBU,...). Hence any setup is between you and the GA250 maker.
Honestly though the turret motor doesn't spin fast enough for this to be very effective. It does work pretty good at slow speed.

NOTE: A control channel for this is required and hence you would HAVE to to start using a system with more than 8 channels

- 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 to swap 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 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 and, again, I can't use Y link for same reason. Using my own servos for 1-6 channel and HL RX18 at the same time seems to be not possible
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

Ideally you will also required a programmable radio with a spare channel. This spare channel is used to switch on/off the turret lock feature. Any gear switch would probably do. Neutral is off, +100% is on.
Setup is very very simple. Connect the black plug of the GA250 to CH3 of receiver connect the red plug the channel that switches the lock function on or off. Connect the remaining plug to GEKO Input 1. Find a spot inside the turret on the roof as close to the centre as possible and attach the GA250. That's all. Of course your slip ring install will be a bit harder. Bit once you have your slip ring in its a breeze.
Enjoy (I know I will)

Guess could use on the battlefield at a gate house or something.

Currently we are back onto designing sound boards and have a design the will provide sound for gates such as this at a very very competitive price. AND NOT crappy lofi sound either but 44.1 kHz CD quality wav playback
Stay tuned.....

Here Sirvoe is setup to control a set of HO scale NJI crossing gates. Not only does Sirvoe control the movement of a the gate arm but also the warning lights (LEDs)
enjoy...

Gekos are back and in numbers. As a twin motor controller it is possible to use GEKO to drive a small tank or robot. In the video below GEKO is setup to control a Tamiya gearbox in dual stick mode. Right stick controls right motor and left stick the left motor.
A small and extremely economical way to drive a small tank
Don't forget for larger tanks GEKO is typically set to control the turret and elevation motors providing true proportional control.
On a side note GEKO uses the same chip as the far more expensive EL Mod units for turret and elevation control. However, unike EL Mod an entire microprocessor is devoted just to turret and elevation control providing more realistic control. PLUS with an option for various supply voltages it can supply the speed to turn the turrets of modern tanks.

As you know the Sherman MU has no recoil function nor pins. Hence this mod will not work as there is nowhere on the unit to plug in.
Another customer has just asked the same thing and he is getting the MAKO4 Tamiya. Which will not only give him recoil but add a huge range of extra features such as:
Battle Unit identification
Real time monitoring of Battle stats
Multi-brand IR compatibility
Machine gun IR
2 shot Kill IR
and yes it will leave all the regular Tamiya functions unchanged.
Alternatively, if you have a programmable radio like the 9X you can program a recoil function on a spare channel and simply plug your servo into that channel. A recoil servo program is setup by default to CH7 on many of the tankER9X templates.
If your radio is NOT programmable then a different mod to SIRVOE is needed so as it is triggered of your Gun channel (CH3). Then you simply use a Y- connector CH3 out on your receiver with one end to the MU and the outer end to the recoil servo.
Here is MAKO4 Tamiya again
