Problems with set up the new 2017 modules

Post by John Pissey »

I’m in the process of installing the newer 2017 modules. I have several questions that I need help with.

1) In the Audio Module instructions mentions that the sound card is susceptible to magnetic fields. I was planning to put this audio module between my 2 main drive motors. Does this mean that I shouln't put it between my 2 drive motors or is this only pertaining to setting the sound card up?

2) I have 2 of Steve Winstone strobe M.G.s and have been told that they can operated with the appropriate sound selection. Does anyone know how to accomplish that?

3) When testing my sound card I can get all the different sounds but the engine does not change in volume as I increase my speed of the dirve motors. What have I done wrong?

4) How do I get more sound if I want it?

5) Viper turret speed control. I have tried multiple times to try and get the viper controller to function properly. I have also tried to re-program it with the same results. When the Viper is in program mode you get a solid green and once you go to the farthest position in one direction of the remote’s travel and back to neutral it changes to red. Then when you finish going in the opposite position and to the neutral position the red and green lights stay on solid. If you then try toggle the transmitter after you finish the program the LED’s change as you select the two directions on the transmitter. This seem to me that it is working appropriately, however the motor only functions in the one direction ( green ) and does nothing when in the opposite ( red ) direction.

Thanks
John
