Setting the Benedini TSB-Mini soundcard

[Chris Hall]

Trying to set up the Amplifier Module / soundcard for my Mark IV ........

I've wired everything together correctly, set the transmitter / receiver to Channel 5, taken off the cover, found the programme button - and then I've hit a brick wall.

Where / what is the toggle switch ? I've looked at everything, and damned if I can find anything like it ! I know it'll be obvious when someone tells me but, at the moment, I'm stuck ...... Help !

Thanks, in hope,

Chris

That'll be the one on the transmitter

By default, the TBS Mini expects to be operated with a three position toggle switch. Thomas calls this "Indirect Sound Selection '2-key coder'" in his manual.

The central position is the standby position. You move the switch forward a set number of times to select a sound, then click it backwards momentarily to activate that sound. So forwards once and backwards once starts the engine sound. Forwards twice and backwards once plays the engine revving sound. Forwards three time and backwards once plays the main gun fire sound. And so on.

Do you have a copy of his manual for the TBS Mini ? It's available on the benedini.de site.

Adrian -

So that would be what all that stuff about 'allocating channel 5 to switch E' relates to, then . Once I noticed there actually was a switch E on the Futaba the lightbulb came on ......

So it's now making all the right noises. It'll be a long time, though, until the speakers are run in enough for me to crank up the volume !

Thanks for your help. Steve Stuart mentioned to me that you were the guru of the special effects packs - yet again, he was absolutely right .

Thanks for your help, and I look forward to saying that personally on 10 October,

Chris
