Ok great there could also be one more thing to try. It is possible that the IR emitter could be attached the wrong way around. Swap around the red and black wires. It is easy to remove the wires by gently lifting the plastic retaining tab and pulling out the wires. If this doesn't work I'll have to get back to you.
Cos I am in the US the internet server is not letting me access my Australian accounts for my electronics suppliers so I can not tell you the modle number of the IR emitter I use. However, any 5mm IR emitter will be fine the higher the intensity the better.
I can send you a replacement if necessary upon return to Australia.

I tested the Piranha. (I changed up the names)
I connected a normal LED inline, and it worked fine.
Can you give me some suggestion how can I swap the emitter? Which kind IR emitter is good?
Have a good holiday for you
Best regards,
Steve

I am currently on holidays in the USA and hence only shipping to the US with what stock I have with me.
Asp & Piranha are available now but won't be shipped til 20th Jan when I get back to Oz. I'll be putting them back as available in shop from about the 18th

I bought the hammerhead with the ASP.
It was JST-PH plug default.
I just plugged the connections as described, what could have happened?
I understand well?
If I remove the jumper, it not necessary the resistor?
If the IR emitter is fault, what type can I buy? Any important parameter?
Best regards,
Steve
ps: When will available the ASP /w Hammerhead again in the shop?

If IR is not working only 2 possible causes:
1. IR emitter is blown
2. IR emitter not connected properly or cable is broken
To check by eye (better than phone) is simply connect instead a normal led with a 300R resistor inline or you could remove the bergepanzer jumper (you need extra resistance if using a normal LED other wise the LED will "blow")
If normal LED is visible - IR emitter is blown and you would have to replace it
If normal LED is not visible - problem with connection

I bought an ASP, and I connected everything.
Every function works fine, just the IR led doesn't shoot. I checked with my phone.
I checked all connection. The top and bottom half of Hammerhead connected the right way around, and red LEDs working, the recoil servo work, and play, the gun sound.
Any suggestions?

Ok this is pretty easy.
Remove MAKO/hammerhead and confirm that your tanks IR system is actually functional with the factory components. If it is not then the fault is out side of the MAKO & Hammerhead. If it is all working fine then connect up Mako/Hammerhead.
First test is to connect up MAKO ONLY
Now first up is MAKO plugged in correctly?
1. Connection to RX18 on the left - output to the HENG LONG battle unit (mushroom) on the right??
if this is correct then
Does the IR system work (send and receive hits)?
if no then issue with MAKO
if yes then possible issue with Hammerhead
So to check connect up Hammerhead
Now does MAKO receive IR hits with Hammerhead connected??
if yes then everything should be correctly plugged in and is operating - the problem will be with the IR emitter or the connection to it. Replace the IR emitter
if NO then
Are the top and bottom half of Hammerhead connected the right way around?
if No then correct and try again.
if yes then double check the security of all the wires and connections
IF you still have no luck you can return either MAKO, or Hammerhead and we can check and if there is an issue repair and return. Although you would be more likely to get an updated MAKO2 in return.
