This is an awesome project! I've already ordered enough stuff to make 10 of them. Thanks so much for sharing it. I'm designing a fully 3D printed 1/14 semi truck and I hope this system will really bring it to life.
@@bluesparky727 I have one set up with 6 channels and one set up with 10. The more channels you have the more functions you can control. It can do a lot without your input though, so you don’t need a lot of channels.
boards arrived, no stickers, no pen, just the boards, and a fat bill from DHL .. shipping was almost as much as the entire boards, wish pcbway had a cheaper shipping method, mine was also delayed because the email they send me went to the spam folder and Chinese new year... so an order placed on 20 Jan 21 was not delivered.. i had to go get it as DHL had "oopsied" my delivery and the local DHL subsidiary had it. i finally got my boards on march 9th 21 but that is not the fault of pcbway or you DIYguy. Now i will test them and start looking for that 1 engine sound i can not find as a .wav file. and then see how to make them work as s-bus receiver/sound/light effects boards. a thank you will come after the test :)
Hmm, sounds annoying. This is strange. I never had issues with PCBWay so far. tons of sounds are already included and pre configured in vehicle profiles.
@@TheDIYGuy999 dhl promised a callback within 24 hours, that was 2 days ago, they admit mistakes where made they just do not want to do a full or partial refund of the shipping costs. is tthere a way how i could privatly let you know what engine sound i want ? maybe you know where to find it .. all i will say its a big engine and not a line or V one :)
Could it be possible to add torque vectoring to this board? For example put 2 esc to control left and right side motors and a potentiometer to read turning angle. It would be nice to have in my dump truck that really wants to understeer.
Thanks a lot for sharing your work with us! I've got all the hardware ready to solder and I will soon have 5 of your controller of my own ;-) Could you make a tutorial on how to create a new sound file? I would like to create a realistic formula 1 sound file.
Hello, with your gerbers.zip file on the pcbway site we get your electronic card with all the small components already soldered on it. You just have to solder a terminal block, a 100 ohm resistor and some pins. Thank you for your help
It will come with soldered SMD components, if ordered according to the PDF in this directory: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/tree/master/Eagle_PCB
hey is it posable to buy the main pub from you please and thank you I really want just 1 for my truck so I can build my lights and sounds I already have the esp32
hello sir, i downloaded your code learning to do it had the esp32 already some resistor, light pam module, do u have like a screenshot on how or what do i need to edit on code to make it work? thanks a lot im a big fan of your work
so I ordered the assembled pcb from Pcbway and have finished 2 of them. I installed the original excavator sketch and I'm using a Flysky FS I6S transmitter with IA 6B receiver .Changed the vehicle.h and the remote.h as instructed in the GitHub documentation. When I test the boards the same as Martin did in this Video all goes well until I get to the part where he gets the hazard lights flashing. I am getting roof lights and the head lights turning on solid instead. Also I am not getting any sound at all. I have tried both boards and multiple ESP32s and get the same results with them all. I have tried sbus and ibus with same results but don't have the necessary cables to try PWM. I have read every bit of documentation and instructions that I can find so many times that I almost have it memorized. Does anyone know if there are any differences between this board and the newer version with wireless trailer lights or the sketch for the ESP32s that could be causing this problem? I would look for help on the forum that is recommended but I never receive the confirmation email to complete registration for the forum when they send it. Ive tried multiple times. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
This sound + light unit seems to be the way to go. I can solder ok but never worked with this sort of electronics so have of componant costs etc. Brfore i get into finding the parts etc can anyone give a apx cost of the parts to complete this project?

I don't have a Futaba remote, so I can't test it. It works just fine wit the Flysky and my DIY Micro RC remote. You should test it in PWM mode first. Does it work in this mode?

I understand that it you load the software (as default) for a SBUS system into the ESP32, it should be blinking the blue LED in the board in the moment you power it even if it you haven not connected a receiver. Is that ok? Because when I load the software it doesn't blink and I'm trying to find if the problem is that Arduino IDE doesn't compile the software properly or if my boards are faulty.
It's the hazard lights, indicating that no connection to the transmitter was found. This is normal with the "MICRO_RC" remote profile. Have a look at "adjustmentsRemote.xlsx"
@@TheDIYGuy999 Yes, I used the "MICRO_RC" remote profile (as you have it by default) just in order to to try it. With your confirmation I know I have a problem with the Arduino IDE or with the ESP32. If I got to solve the problem, I will let you know if it works with Futaba Sbus. Many thanks again for your help.
Hello friend, first of all, thank you for this great contribution. I wanted to know if you could give me a tip on how to connect a flysky FS-IA6B. THANK YOU
@TheDIYGuy999 I sent the files to PCBWay they've made the board but have 2 issues : (Switch Mode Version) 1.For position C1, there are three holes will be blocked if we solder the capacitors,pls advise and comment. 2.For position D3 , component we purchased as per part number#SS34 is bigger than pads in your design, can't solder. Pls provide correct part number.
I ordered the PCB from Pcbway but they are having trouble with the assembly. they are saying that there is one component (C1206) that is listed but no pad on the board for it. They are also saying that one component (DO-214AC) is too big for the footprint on the board. How should I respond to them?The part#s are C4 & D3

How to order Pre Assembled PCB on PCBWA i download the Gerber File and it just show the plan pc boad info on site been trying for 2 week now i just need fast link to order the Pre Assembled board i am not good with all these links to open each time i open a link

But I can't find my engine sound work from the wiring pin on esp32 to my reciver. Did you have any suggestions please?? For only the triggered sound simulation things. Im using 30 pins esp32, and 6ch dumbo rc rx tx. How the wiring should be possible for me?🙏🏽 Big respect. Thanks
Hi. I bought board from PCBWAY, soldered all components and flash program via Arduino IDE. There are no sound. Also my speaker popping all time when I power board on. Can You help?
Would just like to say this module looks fantastic. I would really like to follow this vid and assemble one RATHER than going with the useless Tamiya unit of overpriced Beier unit BUT ordering the PCB on PCBWAY is way to complicated for the first timer/novice. I tried by using the GERBER files BUT the site still asks for aditional info which the novice will have no idea of.Its a shame the channel could not go into more detail for the novice. I have given up on this module due to ordering side.
You can order the boards easily according to the step by step manual: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/Eagle_PCB/How%20To%20Order%20Your%20PCB.pdf
Thank you for the continuous improvements in your project. I note in the BOM.xlsx there are some items crossed out. Obviously these are the pass through bits that they do not assemble. Do they have to stay in the upload file to PCBway or can they be removed? I have never ordered a partially built board so appreciate the advice.
Hello, I ordered all the parts got it all assembled. Do you have a tutorial on how to configure/setup the radio. My radio in particular is Futaba 8FG. I found your excel configuration spreadsheet but, I'm still a little confused on how to set my radio. Thanks
Hi, read this document and you will know how to configure it: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/README.md It's important so set the 100 & 75% dual rate on your radio according to the excel file
This looks very promising! I was looking for something for my tamiya beetle.Is there an option to wire only esp32 with sound amp? I dont need all the custom functions and lights are hardwired.
Thank you. You can also use it without the lights options. Just leave them out. You can wire the ESP and the amp according to the schematic on my GitHub.
This looks a fantastic sound and light module. I have never built anything like this, I think I would be able. I have not been able to find any info on programming or downloading the software or sounds etc?
@@TheDIYGuy999 Thanks for the reply. Assembling one now and hope to start programing today, see how it goes, looks a little confusing at the moment. Reason for voltage is I'm putting the unit in a scale boat that runs on 2 large 6v SLA batteries. If all goes well plan is to have two units running off the separate ESC's for the twin independent motors. Going to try it on 6v, worst case I'll add a 7.4v lipo just for ESP32. Thanks again for your awesome work!
Got it assembled and programed finally. Worked right away. Just need to try some adjustments for the boat application, don't need air brakes and backup beeper....lol. Thanks again for all your hard work and an awesome design. I researched many commercially available units and this one does way more than those and I have way less invested.
@@TheDIYGuy999 I'm having a little trouble understanding how to change channel assignments. Trying to get it working properly with my Spektrum DX6e. What exactly do I need to change in adjustmentsRemote.h to assign the channels to suit my radio? Also trying to use tank mode and now all I can get is engine idling. Thanks in advance.
Gruss Martin (back to English) i have tried to upload the files from the github to the board but keep running into issues, when will you do a tutorial on how to install the software so i can get my board working and look for the P&W R2800 engine for my 8x8 wpl 1/16 truck (after all, i do not want a diesel v4,v6,v8,v10, or v12) i want a rotary twin row 2x9 cylinder 2000 hp engine in my 8x8 same engine as in a P-47, F6F, F8F or the F7F-3n Tigercat (as on my aircraft carrier) Danke :)

Great work. Sorry for different kind of question. For the Micro RC Receiver Light do I need to put C3, C4, C5 and C6 capacitors on the board (no TB6612FNG motor controller)? Thank you.
Hi, this is an amazing work! I'm starting my RC journey and I've already ordered the required parts and the board itself however, looking at your documentation I've noticed that the remote adjustment file is mainly prepared for the flysky and your own controller. Would I have to make many changes to adapt this to Spektrum dx6i? Many thanks
You're welcome. The flysky setting should work (you can also change or copy it easily) as long as the spektrum has the same switches and a dual rate option. Of course the remote channel order has to be adjusted according to the sound controller setting. For details see "adjustmentsRemote.xlsx"
Sorry, I don't have the time for that, but the code is open source, so you can modify it easily. You also have many adjustment options in the configuration tabs.
You have to order the boards by yourself according to: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/Eagle_PCB/How%20To%20Order%20Your%20PCB.pdf

github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/tree/master/Eagle_PCB
the receiver, can change to other receiver ?
Yes, you can use every receiver as long as it has SBUS, IBUS, PPM or PWM
@@TheDIYGuy999 so that, i can use arduino and bluetooth to control pwm, right?
I understand that it you load the software (as default) for a SBUS system into the ESP32, it should be blinking the blue LED in the board in the moment you power it even if it you haven not connected a receiver. Is that ok? Because when I load the software it doesn't blink and I'm trying to find if the problem is that Arduino IDE doesn't compile the software properly or if my boards are faulty.
It's the hazard lights, indicating that no connection to the transmitter was found. This is normal with the "MICRO_RC" remote profile. Have a look at "adjustmentsRemote.xlsx"
@@TheDIYGuy999 Yes, I used the "MICRO_RC" remote profile (as you have it by default) just in order to to try it. With your confirmation I know I have a problem with the Arduino IDE or with the ESP32. If I got to solve the problem, I will let you know if it works with Futaba Sbus. Many thanks again for your help.
Hello friend, first of all, thank you for this great contribution.
I wanted to know if you could give me a tip on how to connect a flysky FS-IA6B. THANK YOU
@TheDIYGuy999 I sent the files to PCBWay they've made the board but have 2 issues : (Switch Mode Version)
1.For position C1, there are three holes will be blocked if we solder the capacitors,pls advise and comment.
2.For position D3 , component we purchased as per part number#SS34 is bigger than pads in your design, can't solder. Pls provide correct part number.
I ordered the PCB from Pcbway but they are having trouble with the assembly. they are saying that there is one component (C1206) that is listed but no pad on the board for it. They are also saying that one component (DO-214AC) is too big for the footprint on the board. How should I respond to them?The part#s are C4 & D3
Bonjour vous avez une vidéo pour installer le fichier sur votre module son et lumière que vous avez fabriqué. ( votre fichier pour installer sur ESP32 on peut le trouver ou)

Just built another ESP32 Sound board for my T35, but I can't find a link for the WAV file converter that Bitluni made for you. The link above goes to the old original converter. I checked your Github too and although it shows a png picture of the converter, there is no link there either.
The converter is included on GitHub:
"Audio2Header.html"
It was rewritten by me to fit our needs.
@@TheDIYGuy999 Thanks, I did not know that. I used the one at Bitluni.net and made it work. I captured 15 seconds of the Russian National Anthem to play as Sound1 on my T35 tank.
@@jps99 You can use it as well, but in this case, you have to change the variable names manually. That's why I made my own version.
@@TheDIYGuy999 Yes, that's what I did , but it will be much easier to use your version, which I will do in the future.
Bro, i watched an old video were u had to solder components, order the pcb and ia this new one. Can i have a list of the new components? Thank you so much!
The pwm receiver how to connect with the sound controller？ I have fix the last problem
Read:

thank you so much for your effort to make it possible to us to do our sound light system better and cheaper than bad /over priced one, but can please show us how to connect to normal pistol receiver without the s-bus ,i mean normal channels
Can you make a instruction video for programming the esp32?
hi ,very good job !!!!!!!
I wanted to know if you sell the fully assembled cards because I do not know how to do .
sorry for my english but i'm french
thank you
You can buy pre assembled boards, but no fully assembled ones. You can see how to do it in this video.
Oooh, my head tells me I already have 5 PCB boards mounted but my heart screams that it wants new SMD PCBs ... And best of all, I don't have a truck yet. heh heh
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the praise, Then you should go and buy a truck ;-)
The "how to order pcb" on github from previous video has no link.
Hi sir, is it just only 1 channel input from receiver?
Hi, it is SBUS, wich requires just one wire. You can also use multiple PWM servo channels. Details according to: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/README.md
@@TheDIYGuy999 yes i see sir, thanks for your reply.
I try to order with PCBWAY but I can't they ask for a Part List BOM file and Centroid file?
They are included in the Gerbers.zip, but you have to provide them separately. They are named BOM.xlsx & CPL.xlsx
@@TheDIYGuy999 Thanks. Will be great to find this in shared projects in PCBWAY
@@TheDIYGuy999 I send BOM and CPL to pcbway but this failed review. They say that on R18(20k) "your designed pads are for THT part rather than SMD part, pls double check and advise correct part No. for checking"
@@giropa sorry, my fault. Tell them they don't have to populate it. You will have to solder it by yourself:
Just received my 5 boards today from PCBWay all the way in Port Elizabeth South Africa, just waiting on my ESP32 and amp boards then I can start...been looking at the coding...bit daunting for a novice....
Have fun with it.
hi. me again ☺
maybe a request:
#1 maybe a port if this on 328P but lights only? no sound
#2 how can we modify code to NOT have an intertia( or a very minimal one)? I plan to use this on 4wd 1:10 'high speed' .
Hi,
#1 it is not possible, because not all 328 pins are supporting PWM
#2 adjust the "escRampTime" variables in the vehicle preset accordingly

Hi. Can you tell me what speakers did you use in your system, and where can I buy its. Thanks and great job, congratulations.
You can use any speaker between 4 and 8 ohms. Mine have GT Power chassis in 3D printed housings
That such a great work 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🙏🏽. I do follow your work sir..but i have a bit questions bout problem i have. I wass doing the programing things with your latest firmware v7. But I can't find my engine sound work from the wiring pin on esp32 to my reciver.
Did you have any suggestions please?? For only the triggered sound simulation things.
Im using 30 pins esp32, and 6ch dumbo rc rx tx. How the wiring should be possible for me?🙏🏽
Big respect. Thanks

Hi. I bought board from PCBWAY, soldered all components and flash program via Arduino IDE. There are no sound. Also my speaker popping all time when I power board on. Can You help?
See comments on RC Modellbau Portal
Would just like to say this module looks fantastic. I would really like to follow this vid and assemble one RATHER than going with the useless Tamiya unit of overpriced Beier unit BUT ordering the PCB on PCBWAY is way to complicated for the first timer/novice. I tried by using the GERBER files BUT the site still asks for aditional info which the novice will have no idea of.Its a shame the channel could not go into more detail for the novice. I have given up on this module due to ordering side.
You can order the boards easily according to the step by step manual:
github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/Eagle_PCB/How%20To%20Order%20Your%20PCB.pdf
Thank you for the continuous improvements in your project. I note in the BOM.xlsx there are some items crossed out. Obviously these are the pass through bits that they do not assemble. Do they have to stay in the upload file to PCBway or can they be removed? I have never ordered a partially built board so appreciate the advice.
It doesn't matter. Also have a look at: github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/Eagle_PCB/How%20To%20Order%20Your%20PCB.pdf
Hello, I ordered all the parts got it all assembled. Do you have a tutorial on how to configure/setup the radio. My radio in particular is Futaba 8FG. I found your excel configuration spreadsheet but, I'm still a little confused on how to set my radio. Thanks
Hi, read this document and you will know how to configure it:
github.com/TheDIYGuy999/Rc_Engine_Sound_ESP32/blob/master/README.md
It's important so set the 100 & 75% dual rate on your radio according to the excel file
This looks very promising! I was looking for something for my tamiya beetle.Is there an option to wire only esp32 with sound amp? I dont need all the custom functions and lights are hardwired.
Thank you. You can also use it without the lights options. Just leave them out. You can wire the ESP and the amp according to the schematic on my GitHub.
This looks a fantastic sound and light module. I have never built anything like this, I think I would be able. I have not been able to find any info on programming or downloading the software or sounds etc?
Thanks. The GitHub link is in the video description ;-) also have a look at my other videos about it.
Can it run on 6v?
It should, but it was not tested @ this low voltage
@@TheDIYGuy999 Thanks for the reply. Assembling one now and hope to start programing today, see how it goes, looks a little confusing at the moment. Reason for voltage is I'm putting the unit in a scale boat that runs on 2 large 6v SLA batteries. If all goes well plan is to have two units running off the separate ESC's for the twin independent motors. Going to try it on 6v, worst case I'll add a 7.4v lipo just for ESP32. Thanks again for your awesome work!
Got it assembled and programed finally. Worked right away. Just need to try some adjustments for the boat application, don't need air brakes and backup beeper....lol. Thanks again for all your hard work and an awesome design. I researched many commercially available units and this one does way more than those and I have way less invested.
@@txracer1636 Good to hear it's working. Have fun with it.
@@TheDIYGuy999 I'm having a little trouble understanding how to change channel assignments. Trying to get it working properly with my Spektrum DX6e. What exactly do I need to change in adjustmentsRemote.h to assign the channels to suit my radio? Also trying to use tank mode and now all I can get is engine idling. Thanks in advance.
This is awesome, just stumbled across it. What is the maximum load / number of leds each light output can run?
Thanks. See:

Gruss Martin (back to English) i have tried to upload the files from the github to the board but keep running into issues, when will you do a tutorial on how to install the software so i can get my board working and look for the P&W R2800 engine for my 8x8 wpl 1/16 truck (after all, i do not want a diesel v4,v6,v8,v10, or v12) i want a rotary twin row 2x9 cylinder 2000 hp engine in my 8x8 same engine as in a P-47, F6F, F8F or the F7F-3n Tigercat (as on my aircraft carrier)

Great work. Sorry for different kind of question. For the Micro RC Receiver Light do I need to put C3, C4, C5 and C6 capacitors on the board (no TB6612FNG motor controller)? Thank you.
Thanks. No, these capacitors are for the TB6612FNG. Note, that I recommend to add a 100nF cap across the GND and 3.3V terminals of the radio module.
@@TheDIYGuy999 OK, thank you.
This is the other guy with the swiss accent :)
indeed 😄
Yes, of course ;-)
Hi, this is an amazing work! I'm starting my RC journey and I've already ordered the required parts and the board itself however, looking at your documentation I've noticed that the remote adjustment file is mainly prepared for the flysky and your own controller. Would I have to make many changes to adapt this to Spektrum dx6i? Many thanks
You're welcome. The flysky setting should work (you can also change or copy it easily) as long as the spektrum has the same switches and a dual rate option. Of course the remote channel order has to be adjusted according to the sound controller setting. For details see "adjustmentsRemote.xlsx"
@@TheDIYGuy999 brilliant! Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you so much for doing this! Unfortunately, I'm having some problems getting the correct parts. In your github I see many files, but not sure which one to provide to pcbway. I also see a variety of PAM8403 amplifiers to choose from and I don't know what resistors I'd need....or how many. Do you happen to have a very basic tutorial of the process? I do not have much experience with board designs/layout so many of these terms (ESP32, for example) are new to me. :)
