Hallo Martin, wieder einmal toll zu sehen, wie sich das Projekt immer weiter entwickelt. Von mir ein Daumen hoch und ein großes Dankeschön. Schöne Grüße Andreas (Man Tgx)

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Hallo Andreas. Danke, hast du den MAN Sound schon getestet? Gruss Martin

Leider kann ich zur Zeit nichts machen, da mein Laptop erst einen neuen RAM braucht. Mit dem Pc komm ich nicht weiter

@@TheDIYGuy999 Ja das Problem habe ich damals schon gehabt, mit meinem Windows 10 PC hat es nicht gefuntzt. Mit dem Windows 8 Laptop ging es dann. Mit dem Forum hast du recht, das ist Down. Hoffentlich werkeln die nur kurzzeitig und später läuft es wieder.

[@a.b1670]

Hallo nochmal, ein kleines Update zum Forum, vorhin war die Seite down, jetzt steht da immerhin schon, das ein Update erfolgt, also Grund zum hoffen

[@GDIdoujinmediaworks]

I am so happy to have found your channel. I'm currently modding my Tamiya kit with fully functional lights control using IR receiver (the ones that come with Arduino kit), this one is definitely taking it to the next level. Come to think of it, this approach will work well on model locomotives as well (I'm thinking of 2.4Ghz RC or bluetooth controlled battery locomotives in large scale) since off the shelf DCC equipment is so expensive.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thank you. It will work as long as your system has the required communication types. Details can be found on my GitHub.

[@jeffbluejets2626]

Impressive piece of work. My application is in a model boat with forward and reverse Diesel engine sound only. Is there a much less complex system you have to cover this or would I need to go through your complete system here and take out what I do not require..? Thanks

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks. Yo can use as it is, you don't have to remove anything, just change the configuration. I also have an ATmega 328 based system. It's way simpler, but the sound quality is not the same. github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound

[@schorsch1938]

^super sound ;-)))))))

[@oscarveterinario]

Fantastic, as always. I have tried to order from JLCPCB because it is cheaper but 3 components are missing from the PCB. I will take a look on pcbway. Thank you!

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thank you. Yes, JLCPCB is a bit cheaper, but I think the communication of PWBWay is better. They send you a picture, after the first board is populated, so you can check it. The DHL express shipping is included, if you choose the SMD assembling service.

[@AatTsani]

thank you friend, I am also printing your pcb smd design on JLCPCB, just waiting to be sent

[@TheDIYGuy999]

You're welcome. Have fun with your PCB!

I hope there are a few tweaks to suit the drift car.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thank you. What tweaks do you mean?

[@jackdenner4227]

@@TheDIYGuy999 Dammm. Am stuck at engine mass simulator. it is very hard to controls drift car. haha. but it is very very nearly real car ^^.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

@@jackdenner4227 Yes, I think it is not ideal for a drift car, but of your you can adjust it to make the virtual inertia smaller.

[@dionhutchins7300]

I love the sound of this do you make them up and sell them to just be installed?

[@bealiyah]

more complete there is the addition of a smoke generator

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Yes, you could do that

[@mattalfi8295]

This is unbelievable!! I'm building one as I type, are you using Tamiya MFC-01 for the sounds with custom sound files installed? I love what you did!!!

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks. No, you can't the MFC-01 can't play third party sounds. This controller is DIY. Here you can find everything you need to build your own: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32

Wow, fantastic sound and light system, thanks for sharing...i have been looking around for something that Tamiya have on there big rig series but its really expensive. I am in the process of building/3d printing a 1/10 scale semi-truck and trailer (Kenworth K100 Aerodyne) and i was looking around for something like this. I love the jake brake sound...so real...would you happen to have an air brake sound too? thanks.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks. Yes, air brake and parking brake sounds are included.

[@edenubo]

@@TheDIYGuy999 awesome...thank you sir...sorry for the silly question, but i do need to have a custom board printed other than the ESP32 and PAM8403? thanks

[@laurentludres]

Hello from France. i m built on but i ve problem with my dx6 spektrum. Is it working with this remote ? If it is yes what kind of remote mode i must use ?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Hi, it is working with every remote. You just have to select the correct communication mode, according to your wiring. You also have to adjust the channel mapping (see adjustmentsRemote.xlsx) For details refer to: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/README.md

[@TX010]

Hi mate! Maybe you want sell that system or bulid for sale? I'm interested for my king.

[@raffyturc]

im finished with the esp32 sound fx. and the active suspension. but havent figured out how id actually connect to my rc car. to my understanding, the esc output on the esp32 , will control the throttle(speed) of motor? one thing I cant figure out though is how do I use the 'sound' on switchB? it sounds like a 'door slamming shut' im using flysky i6 tx.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Yes, you have to connect the ESC to the "ESC" connector on the ESP32 board. Don't connect it to the receiver as usual. Make sure it is a crawler ESC with direct brake.

[@raffyturc]

@@TheDIYGuy999 got it! how about switchB? the sound.. been reffering to the excel file but cant seem to understand it

[@TheDIYGuy999]

​@@raffyturc The Excel sheet is referring to the "adjustmentsRemote.h" tab. You need to assign the channels according to your remote channel setup. Do it in the "Channel assignment* section of the profile you selected in lines 4 or 5

[@bruce666187]

i have another question if you could help me out when you get a moment. Im using sbus and trying to set up a output on the header pins of the board to run a a second speed control (hydraulic pump) how would i do that for example instead of the ch to run the horn or extra sound how do i use that to run the pump thank you

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Have a look at the upcoming v7.5, which is including winch control. Basically you are generating PWM servo signals according to the settings in "7_adjustmentsServos.h"

[@bruce666187]

@@TheDIYGuy999 the new update is amazing exactly what i was needing thank you it works perfect until i get to the headlight portion of the light sequence while the headlights are on it starts to trigger the horn the shift sound reverse and continues freaking out I appreciate and input on what im doing wrong thank you

Sorry to hear that. I think it's not hard. A lot of people built it successfully.

Here is the problem i am having with rc sound kit The servo staring and remote are alinde properly. I removed both service and Rc signel coming from reciever to esp. even without staring servo signal turning led is blinking all other light not working like headlight fog light revers light etc.
