I fear your mental struggle stems from coming via a Heng Long background. Piranhas 5 way cable carries the IR input, Signal LED wires and 5V supply ONLY. The IR emitter is on a separate 2 way cable. (5+2) Although you have an emitter on the top of Piranha - users may not want it there. So you can remove it and place into the mantlet. That is the reason for the separation of the IR emitter cable.
So yes you DO have to send up the IR wires because they are NOT on the 5 way cable. Again refer to the original 360° post.
This video shows one way to go about setting up Asp for a 360 degree rotating turret. A 12 way slip ring is used with the following designations:
1. V0
2. V+ (5 volts)
3. Recoil servo signal
4. Elevation servo signal
5. Elevation Motor A (JST-XH)
6. Elevation Motor B (JST-XH)
7. IR- (JST-PH)
8. IR+ (JST-PH)
9. Flash/LED signal (JST-XH)
10. MG2 (JST-PH)
11. Indicator LED - (JST-PH)
12. IR signal (JST-PH)
2 way cable
5 way - reduced itself to 2 because you take the 5V+ and GND elsewhere

So if I'm now understanding this
The hammerhead is a sender and a reciever
So in the 360 turret mod videos
I do not need to send up the wires for the mantlet emitter because that is taken care of via the 5 pin hammerhead connection
Or am I still struggling mentally
Thanks in advance

I thought there was a chip that needed to be upgraded on the Juno board that linked with the manta board
I get it now
it's the manta board that gets flashed/upgraded
DOH
thanks

I do not know what Manta board you have. If older and big - holes marked STR if new small or big it has the Asp2 style 3 pin JST ZH connector. There is only one the board.
When there is a Manta update - the only thing in the update will be new messages for the very latest of functions (mostly openlog messages)- Old versions will still work.

I'm a bit unsure of the pins and order of pins to use to update the manta
Could u please clarify
Thanks

If you have any 2016 Asp1 firmware (March 2016 and later) installed then:
There is also the Radio Edit option for editing IR options.
If you have the latest Asp1 firmware (September 2016 onwards) then:
You ALSO have the option to use an OpenLog and the irsetup.txt file
So if you have the latest firmware for Asp1 you can edit the ir functions using:
1. Sony Remote
2. Radio Edit Mode
or
3. irsetup.txt and an Openlog unit

I'll just swap it around between ASP's during testing
So this leads to my next question
How do u setup the ASP 1 for IR
do u do it using the Sony remote
Or is ASP 1 able to be programmed for IR with radio with a new software release or will it only ever be via Sony remote
It's not a problem just curious
Thanks

Answer 1 - Yes upload all 4 in the Order as numbered.
Answer 2 - This is Asp2 only
Answer 3 - There is no stock of the IR receivers used in Hammerhead. Supplier says mid December

On the ASP update there are say 4 files in the main folder
Do u upload all 4 in number order say lowest to highest
Or is each 1 for a diffrent chip ver
Are these files for ASP 1 and 2
When will u have more hammerhead units in stock I need 2
Thanks again for all your help

In the first video post the info for wiring is the first thing
A 12 way slip ring is used with the following designations:
1. V0
2. V+ (5 volts)
3. Recoil servo signal
4. Elevation servo signal
5. Elevation Motor A (JST-XH)
6. Elevation Motor B (JST-XH)
7. IR- (JST-PH)
8. IR+ (JST-PH)
9. Flash/LED signal (JST-XH)
10. MG2 (JST-PH)
11. Indicator LED - (JST-PH)
12. IR signal (JST-PH)
If you are doing a 360 mod you will need to re-do all of your turret wiring and the aRUBA is not going to be of much use.
Typically you will need a bit of stripboard inside the turret OR a special PCB (I don't have anymore)
Basically, instead of sending up individual V+ and V0 into the turret for the Receiver, servos, LEDs & flash you only send up 1 set of V+ and V0 wires.
That is the best way to approach - send up one set of V0 and V+ into the turret via the slip ring. Solder V0 and V+ to a bit of strip board to provide + and - power "rails" inside the turret. Connect up all the power wires for your servos, flash and IR receiver to these power rails in the turret. Connect all of the V+ LED wires to the V+ rail ONLY. If using a elevation motor connect that up direct through the slip ring. Everything that is left are signal wires - connect them all up individually via the slip ring.

I'm following ur ASP 360 turret mod videos but cant find any documentation on wiring
On ASP 2 the full Ir kit
U say only use 2 wires from the Ir 5 pin plug as u suggest to pick up th 5 v + and 5 volt - from the recoil servo via the slip ring but that leaves 1 spare wire from the 5 pin IR plug, what is that for and what do I do with it
U supply a conector with a jumper and a blue ring
Do I need to use the conector because of the jumper
What's the jumper for
What does the blue ring do and where do I connect it
That will do before I confuse myself
Thanks

It also tells other people if you have fired a normal round or a 2-shot kill round. 2 flashes for a normal round and 3 for a 2 shot kill. If your club or game is not allowing 2 shot kill rounds then it is a way to tell who is cheating.
Maybe I'll make off the default and you have to turn it on if you want it.
