Hi Kevin,
I have just got my 2nd ASP board from Gary at Victorian Armoured RC Club. ( These boards are very popular in the club )
But I am in need of some help.
I have read the ASP wiki notes on the flash unit and recoil motors several times and am still confused.
I have a Taigen recoil system with a High Voltage flash unit and are confused about the wiring.
Firstly, the flash has 5 wires coming from it, red blue black and 2 from a micro switch. How can i tell what order to fit the red blue black to the V0 V+ V+sig pins. I know the pins range from top to bottom but don’t know what colour fits which pin.
Also, do i disregard the wire from the microswitch because the flash recoil timing is synchronised by the ASP ?
Secondly, the recoil motor. It has a black neg wire, a pos white and blue wire with a small inline switch from the + of the elevation motor. Also a yellow wire from the neg side of the recoil motor goes to a microswitch which has a large red wire that connects to the neg side of the battery on/off switch.( constant neg supply ).
How does all this connect to the ASP recoil 3pins. (Left pin V- signal, middle pin is BV+ and the right pin is V0).
Can you help explain the wiring below:
Connect BV+ direct to recoil motor,
V0 connects to the common pin of the recoil motor's microswitch.
The V- signal connects direct to the other terminal of the recoil motor.
A short wire then connects the NC contact of the switch to the same motor terminal as the V- signal.
Attached is a pic of the Taigen elevation recoil & flash unit.
There a few other people in our club who are in the same situation so any assistance would be great.
Thanks Steve
