1) When you reset a servo, what equivalent value on the programmer are the endpoints set to? 225? Something less?
I'll have to reset a servo and find out where it travels too. If memory servos me its approximately 60 degrees travel in either direction. Where it falls into the scheme of thing with the programmer's epa scale is unknown to me. Not sure why you need this information. Its not relevant when programming or setting up servos to the best of my knowledge.
2) I'd love to max the ATV & Rates for Tx/Rx resolution and not overdrive the servo. Any idea what a ballpark endpoint number on the programmer would be to run ATV at 125% and high rate at 140%?
You cannot overdrive these servos. There was a time early on in their release when this may have been an issue TX dependent. The accepted parameters are now well outside the range of causing a problem to date. You can max the servo out to 225-225 with the programmer at extremes if it serves your needs. However the travel arc will likely be 180 degrees plus, which is unusable for our needs. Simply program the servo for the desired travel of the specific surface and then turn up the percentages to the maximum allowable , less 5-10%. Check for binding, if you have binding reprogram the servo with say 10 points less (if the servo was programmed at 200, try 190 and check again).
(I guess I could just experiment with a degree wheel, but if someone knows this already...)
I have yet to go here, I have a degree and a jig for such setup but find programming the servo in the model is more benefical.
