JPN MA 550 APPEARS TO BE THE GYROTell me about it!
Right. You took the cover off though, yes?
There sees to be from those pictures two main chips. Can you "dicttype" the codes on them?
Me too but its got too late - tomorrow will do - Any way taking challanging photographs is more interesting than School work.No worrys, I should be working.
Got it!
Picture 1 of the old lot. That is from the bottom view isn't it.
The gyro is meant to be mounted as in the attached picture shows.
In Picture 2 of the new lot. That chip is the sensor, I'm sure.
That means that it is mounted vertically.
Can you give me the length of the yellow line. The yellow line is meant to indicate the length of that board.
Why would you want to do that? I thought the servo which required "gyro" adjustment was in the turret?Had another thought.
Think I'll be able to get data back down into the hull from the turret rotation gyro?
Would you not be better using an incinometer to measure thegun elevation?The ESC for the turret rotation is in the hull. I'd have the gyro for the turret rotation in the turret and then I'm going to mount an accelerometer in the gun for thegun elevation. The gun elevation will be controlled by the accerlerometer throught a servo in the turret and the turret rotation is being powered by a motor and ESC in the hull. I would therefore need the gyro in the turret and send the line down to the ESC.
Could I do all this communication in one pin?
I'm sorry, I thought you were looking for 35 or 40MHz??? In fact, I understood that you were currently using 35MHz, correct? That is why I listed that site. If you are looking for something else, there are different Micron also carries the Plantraco stuff, though I don't, offhand, know of more than 4 channels units available in Plantraco.Unfortunately it looks like they're out of stock of their own-brand Rx's and the rest are either 35or40Mhz.
Nice site though.
You can't have tried very hard.Are you sure "Inclinometers" exist? I can't find any.
Gotcha. You are wanting absolute positioning. A couple of things you might want to consider, however. Your weapons platform is moving and irregular (not as irregular as our model warships, but not stable, nonetheless). With a geared motor that fives you a slow elevation, you can fine-tune the elevation visually on the fly. If you want to walk it to the target. Many of our guys use a simple motor for turret rotation (my ship happens to be proportional, but I am in the minority) on our ships and are deucedly effective.Need the servo. Think of having a laser in the gun. The gun travels about 60 degrees. That is split up into about 100 steps (due to EPA). That give 0.6 degree accuracy. The wall is about 3m away (you're not just going to aim at the closes wall, you'd have some fun). Therefore 0.6 degrees accuracy equates to about 3cm on the wall. That in itself isn't great.
Now imagine trying to time that accuracy with just on/off, up/down controls compared to "go to point" servo's. You'd need the fingers of a robot on steroids.
As pointed out by others, no, you cannot mix frequency bands (or for that matter, frequency crystals in those bands). Once a TX is on a frequency, the RX frequency must match it.I really don't know about the frequency. The reciever I got is marked as 35Mhz and I'd like to keep it. Would it work on something like 2x35Mhz; 72Mhz?
I'll need to try some combinations at some point.
Sorry, don't follow. "visually on the fly".With a geared motor that fives [gives] you a slow elevation, you can fine-tune the elevation visually on the fly. If you want to walk it to the target. Many of our guys use a simple motor for turret rotation (my ship happens to be proportional, but I am in the minority) on our ships and are deucedly effective.
