Sound module for Tatra 130

First outdoor test of my freshly developed sound module for my RC Tatra 130.

The sound module is much more than just a sound generator - it is a real-time V8 engine simulator. It does not use engine samples, as commercially available sound modules do, but it simulates every cylinder and its corresponding sound. The sound is also mixed with a ventilator sound, that is so characteristic for air-cooled Tatra vehicles. This gives me the opportunity to create realistic sound for almost any situation of the real vehicle - any revolutions, any amount of throttle, engine braking, even realistic downshift with throttle.

Hardware: Arduino Nano with an AD converter and an amplifier
Software: completely developed by me - a real-time simulator of Tatra 108 air cooled V8 engine + virtual gearbox with 5+1 gears.

yeah and i really don't know much about that kind of truck so for i know there could of been

@stagmatts no problem ;) . Tatra 130 was a single prototype of military flatbed truck derived from series produced Tatra 128 in 1951. Although passing military tests successfully, it was not produced in series. In fact, very few people know about it, it is a kind of myth in Tatra history ;)

ok two things need to happen to this truck 1 better tiers 2 lock the axels

[cwx37]

@stagmatts only one should happen - better tyres ;) . There was no front diff-lock on the real Tatra 130.

Very nice, are you willing to share some code ?

@cwx37 ahhhh
