Hello Yves,

That are a lot of questions in a short posting :shock:
Let us see what we can solve.

That the LED does not work yet is correct because you have not been able to activate the onboard ouputs. So we start there.
First you have to push the programming button and keep it pushed down while you start up the soundunit. Then it will flash 2 times (I checked it on my own unit 5 minutes ago).Now you can continue with the programming procedure as described earlier.

I understand that you control the soundunit with a joystick, which in fact is a big toggle switch. This means that you have to "count" 1,2 3, etc. to select the various sounds.
You "count" by moving the joystick from the neutral position to the fully up position and then release it to return to the neutral position.
Next you move the joystick from the neutral position to the fully down position. The sound that you selected will be played.

The list of sounds is as follows:
- count 1 time : start of the motor in idle mode
- count 2 times : reving up the engine without driving
When you move the driving stick the enginesound will follow the movement of the vehicle.
- count 3 times : fail start of the motor
- count 4 times : MG
- count 5 times: FLAK
etc. up to 10 (gearshifting, door opened, door closed, radio message (Feind gesichtet), horn.

Final remark. I described the counting with the "counting" movement upwards and the "play" movement downwards. Depending on your radio this may have to be reversed : counting downwards and playing upwards.
Use the count to 4 (MG) to check how it works on you radio.

When you succeed in programming the onboard outputs you will find that on the 4 count the LED of the MG will start flashing. If you add a second LED for the FLAK, this will work the same way on the 5 count.

Bon chance.
Cheers,

Hello Ad!...
Well, I have changed the LED and now it is light!...( Not flashing :( ))
I understand what you mean but the problem is I ' m not be able to have the 2 first sounds on the sound unit when I 'm press the programming button before power on ( perhaps this is THE problem!...); at this point, I have only 4 times flashs intead of the 2 !...
And of course no MG sound or other on the joystick except the motor' s one....
Have you any idea?
Yves

Hello Yves,

I understand why the MG LED is not flashing, you have no input from the sound to trigger the flashing.
What I do not understand is that the LED on the soundunit blinks 4 times when you hold the programming button during power up.
When you switch on the soundunit the normal way, does the LED blink 3 times ? It should, because you use the "toggle switch" mode.

You can try one more thing.
Turn on your transmitter; make sure that the joysticks are in neutral position (also the trims); turn on the receiver-soundunit-etc; the LED on the soundunit should blink 3 times; push the programming button 1 time.
All available sounds will now be played automatically one after the other. Wait until all sounds have been played and the LED starts blinking continuously. This confirms the end of the programming.
Switch off the soundunit and receiver.
Switch them on again, wait for the soundunit to blink 3 times.
Now try to activate the various sounds, using the "counting" method I explained in my earlier posting.

Fingers crossed :?
Cheers,
Ad

Hello Yves,

6 Blinks at start-up does not appear in the manuals.
It seems that you have a problem with the signal to your soundunit or in your electrical system. You may consider to check all connections with the help of the schedule in the Armortek manual. I had similar problems with the soundunit in the Tiger of Matthijs Dijkstra.
Maybe you can post some detailed pictures of your set-up, this can make things clearer.
Cheers,

Thank you in anticipation,
Yves
