Default Reversing Y-Cable

Hey guys,

Is there anyway to make a standard Y-Cable reverse, like by switching the wires? 1 Servo should be normal and the other reverse (for elevator dual servos)

Thanks...

to my knowledge, no.....it is not as easy as switching polarity....

but something to think about....

is different brand servos spin different directions...

ie: use a Futaba and a hitec servo and you don't need a "Y"

A couple years back I got a "Miracle Y" servo reversing adapter.. by Maxx Products, 815 Oakwood Rd. Unit D. Lake Zenith, IL, 60047.
It works quite well
It's a 3169FJYR for futaba..3369ARYR for Airtronics, and 3469JRYR for Hitec/JR
Cirrus servos also rotate opposite to Futaba, connected directly.

To switch a standard servo, you have to reverse the wires on the motor and the potentiometer (pot). That cannot be done by simply switching the three wire supply extension. I don't know how the miracle Y cable works. I believe there is an FAQ on Hitec's website on how to change rotation in the servo.

Hi,

If you have room it is easier to simply use the other side of the servo arm.

Cheers,

Colin
