JR 500 Gyro / 2721 servo jitter
Having a small issue.
My kitty cat has the twin rudders (JR2721)'s, and the Nose Gear (JR 2721) on a matchbox, wired up after a JR500 Gyro. RAdio is 12X, and gyro is set up on Rudder channel (feed) and Aux2 (control). Im getting constant jitter on the rudder servos, but the Nose gear steering is quiet. I swapped to a spare 2721 and although not as bad, its still jittering
I lowered the regulator voltage to 5.2 volts for the system, and that helped some, but I dont want to lower it more that that. I plugged a 5 cell nickel and bypassed the regulators in it and it got worse, over 6 volts..
I also bypassed the gyro just to make sure.
So.. it appears the 2721's are voltage sensitive, very strange. It just sits and vibrates..
I also put the sensitivity at 0 and 50%. Nothing worked. I got it less but still there. Its on about 6 feet of extension. Jitters when I bypass the matchbox too, so I guess its voltage, but 5.2 volts making them jitter?
Ideas?
thanks...goose
