3.2. Direct sound selection
If you want to have engine sound and ONE special sound (f.e. MG), you can use this control mode.
A proportional spare channel having a 3 position switch or a common joystick channel are
necessary for using this mode.
A attached servo must leave its center/neutral position if the switch is pressed in one direction and
must return to its center position when the switch is released. Pushing the switch in the opposite
direction causes the servo moving to the other side. Please compare the very left and very right
positions of the servo with a common joystick channel. They should be about the same.
This is the first test you should do before teaching the sound unit.
3.2.1. Teaching direct sound selection using Prop2 input (recommended !!!)
The 3pos switch receiver channel must be connected to Prop2 input of the TBS Mini. Prop2 input
mode must be set to “Function ½” at the TBS Flash software. The desired sounds must be selected
too. These settings are already done if this control mode was ordered.
Teaching is very simple and is the same as described below in “3.4. Autostart” → Page 10
Hint:
The two selectable sounds are fix (as set by the TBS Flash program) and can not be changed during
teaching. They can be changed only by the optional USB programming cable.
3.2.2. Teaching the direct sound selection using Prop3 input
(Recommended for experienced users)
This is a alternative method for direct sound selection. It can be used if the model has two speed
channels. In this case Prop2 can be used for the second speed input and Prop3 for sound selection.
1. Power on transmitter and receiver. LED blinks fast -> normal mode
Bring all joysticks to neutral position. Model must not move.
2. Press the prog. button until one beep occurs -> LED cont. on.
At this moment all neutral / idle positions are stored.
3. Move throttle stick to your desired acceleration point (throttle stick position where to leave idle
and start the acceleration sound), flick the toggle switch and set it back to center.
-> A short sequence of acceleration is played
4. Move throttle stick to full speed position, flick the switch again and set it back to center.
-> A short sequence of full speed is played.
5. Flick the switch UP and set it back to center
-> Engine start/stop is stored to this switching direction
6. If you want to skip the next sound, flick the switch again UP. A section of the next sound is
played but NOT stored to this direction of the switch, because it is already occupied.
7. Repeat step 6 to skip further sounds
8. If your desired special sound comes up next flick the switch DOWN and set it back to center.
9. Switch sound unit off and on.
10. Now you can select the two selected sounds directly by operating the switch up or down.
Hint:
– The control mode for Prop3 must be set to “12 position encoder”
– The 3-pos switch receiver channel must be connected to Prop3
– You may run the teaching sequence several times because you don't know at the very first run
which sound appears next in the sound list.
– Advantage of this way of using the direct mode is, that you can choose the sounds you want to
have during teaching.
