Futaba T-7CP Problem

Post by Debbie Ansell »

Can anyone help out with a suggestion to resolve a problem with the rotation and elevating functions that have stopped working on late Tiger I (2012). Problem started
when turret would only rotate one way and I was unable to control it with the transmitter. Same problem with elevation. Now I have no response to controls at all.
Power to both motors is OK. Could it be a transmitter or receiver problem? Thanks.

Are you using the Armortek Auxiliary module to control the turret and elevation ?

What do you mean when you say "Power to both motors is OK", how have you tested that ?

Is the fuse for the Auxiliary module OK ? You should see a red LED on the Power Supply module if the fuse is OK. The Auxiliary connection should be the middle pair of spade connectors on the Power Supply Module.

Do you have a spare servo for testing ?

If you plug a servo in turn into the relevant channels on the receiver, you should be able to see it move when you operate the controls on the transmitter. If this works, it rules out both the transmitter and receiver as the culprits.

Adrian.
