It's cruel that this doesn't has more views... I spent hours trying and after that also way to much time searching for a solution to control my tank steered vehicle with my TX16S, this tutorial is I think the only one in the whole internet and it's soooo good. So yeah for anyone wondering this works on all EdgeTX controllers :)))) thank you sooo much
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this awesome comment! It seems that there are not that much people out there who drives RC Tanks or similar vehicles. But I am glad the video was of some help to you. Have fun with your TX16S! It is an incredible remote and I wished the MT12 had a similar screen ...
This is great info, don’t even have a tracked vehicle but this makes me want to get one just to setup the model in the MT12. One thing that comes to mind is when off throttle you are using both motors in opposite directions to turn, but while in motion you only cut throttle on one side to turn. Wouldn’t this make the tracked vehicle turn faster when at a stop vs when in motion?
Thanks for the comment! Yes, when stopped the rotational speed of the vehicle would be greater. But I think this is the normal behaviour. Just think of the twe extremes: 1st: the vehicle is stopped > the tracks (can) go the opposite direction when turning | 2nd: the vehicle is at full speed > the only way to turn is to slow down one of the tracks. If you watch a tracked vehicle in the real world you would see that turning in place is a normal thing for such vehicles. And, by the way, the mixing shown in the video could be seen as a starting point. Feel free to improve upon that. For example you could use one of the switch to toggle the behaviour of the vehicle when stopped, so that only one motor runs when turning.
If you have a "standard" crawler (4 wheels/tires and one motor) then this setup does not work. But with the MT12 it should be absolutely no problem to set it up for 4-wheel-steering. This thing is incredible flexible when it comes to programming different "driving modes".
