Regarding single or multiple batteries - I've been using a single battery supply for the eight years (wow ! really ?!?!) I've been battling with you guys. Even with a computer and the marker electronics sharing the same ground as the motors, I haven't seen any issues. I do use opto-isolators on the marker triggering, however. -----Original Message----- From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto:rctankcombat@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Frank Pittelli Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 12:47 PM To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [TANKS] Remote Triggering - R/C MOSFET switch works fine Not only has it already been built, but that circuit was battle-tested in the SU100, Patton and Semovente during the last battle. The board connects to the R/C receiver and directly drives the marker solenoid, as I explained in previous posts, exactly like an e-trigger. It even has a feature that allows you to restrict your firing rate to one shot every N seconds. I added that feature so that we can conduct the "Doug Experiment" one battle to see how reduced firing rates affect the game.

It was some sort of capacitor discharge circuit. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
