RE: Servo Chatter
I have three JR DS8411s and two DS9411s, all brand new, that make noise only when the transmitter is on. There is no noticeable movement of the servo arms when they are making the noise. The receiver is a Futaba R148DF, but I have also tried a R127DF with the same effect. The batteries are two 1950 mAH 6V NiMHs, but I know about the problem with freshly charged 6V batteries so I have also tried a single 4.8V NiCd with the same effect.
I have also done the following to try to solve this problem:
- Broke and re-made connections 5-6 times.
- Tested servos out of plane.
- Transmitter antenna up and down.
- Transmitter close by and fourty feet away.
- Different combinations of servos connected.
- Touched/pushed/pulled servos or arms.
- Twisted servo and battery leads (electronic ignition, but not tested yet with engine running).
So far nothing seems to help.
This is my first experience with digital servos, but this racket doesn't seem quite right.
Do you have any more ideas for how to eliminate this noise? Is it unsafe to fly with this problem?
I appreciate your support.
