Servo problem.

Thanks Doug. The Tx and Rx were about 6" apart. I will try this first then look into your other recommendations.
Thanks.

Servo problem.

Hi Peter,
Those servos have a very tight dead band of < 3u/sec, so you'll need to adjust the trim controls on the TX veeery carefully. Also switch off any preset mix functions for any kind of flying machine. Ferrite choke rings on the servo cable might also cure it. Wind the servo cable through the ring three times, as evenly spaced as you can, 120°.
Good quality crystals also help to keep the TX frequency as stable as possible.

Testing with TX and RX very close together can also cause the servos to jitter, strong signal overloading the RX input.
Good luck🤞
Cheers, Doug 😎

Servo problem.

Hi Guys.
I have a small problem and would ask for a little advice.
My Submarine will function on 40MHz so I bought a second hand Hitec Optic 6 system. The servos supplied are too large for my requirement so I have bought some Corona DS-236MG digital servos to replace. The problem is that when I connect them up, they are both shuddering at centre position. Is there a cure for this without having to replace them.
Thanks.
Peter.
