gun stabilizer module for rc main battle tanks
The module stabilizes the horizontal and the vertical movement of the
gun in a radio controlled main battle tank model. This is acccomplish by
using modern gyro- and inertialsensor technology. As soon as this sticks
are released to return to neutral, this is stored as the new position to be
stabilized.
The gun elevation is controlled by a servo, the tower rotation by a geared
motor placed in the turret. A speed controller with 5A continuous load is
already integrated to control the tower rotation motor.
The modul simulates the barrel retraction, too. A servo or a motor driven
unit can be used to realize this.
The device can simulate the autoloader automatic move to the loading
position and return to the initial position.
A back rear collision avoidance input lifts the barrel automatic to a settable
hight, to avoid collision of the barrel with the hull.
The modul can be operated with a rc receiver or using the SGS Scalebus
connection. Scalebus Operation additionally controls the periscope and a
machine gun turret (urban fighting PSO variant).
