Default RE: Digital Servo Programer ?

ORIGINAL: Ozmodeller

Like Riverdancer I too had many problems setting my digital servos (5645's and 5945's) to do what I wanted, I now have a procedure that takes approximately 2 minutes per servo as follows:

Manufacture a degree card (I used some stiff cardboard with a cutout for the servo) with a centre line and maximum throw ( 60 degrees) this should be inline with the servo spline,

Fit the output arm you intend to use,

Reset the servo,

Set the deadband and direction,

Set the centre and endpoints required (I always set to 60 degrees), and

Fit to model and play with Tx to achieve the desired throws.

Whilst this process may not work with every application, it does work for me and I am now a happy Hitec digital servo user.

Your method is more than adequate for most purposes. However there are some short comings and limitations with this procedure. In other words your not taking full advantage of the programmable parameters of the Hitec servo.
