Tnx for the tips 'cuda....I looked at that stepdown...it isn't a reg'r...so what is it really? It also says it wants a "Regulated" 6 volt source. I try to keep the component count down, so I run 6 volt NiMh batteries without any reg'r. They do top off at a higher voltage though. My Rx and servos are all quite happy with it that way. Also, that thing says not for use with NiCd or NiMh batteries.....gee...lots of restrictions and warnings, without any explanation. I'd sure like to know the "WHY" of these things, rather than just blindly follow their suggestions without a reason....that's just me thinkng again I guess. ...trying to learn something.
As for the digital servo...yeah...I can do without that...I was hoping to be able to use the digital speed, but it is so sensitive to voltage source....I'll continue to avoid them.
thanx.
