Has anybody had problems using opto-isolators?
Guys,
I've been using opto isolators in jets and large scale aerobatic models for some years with no problems at all.
As a result of a piece I wrote in an English magazine recently, the English distributer of JR products has written to me stating, et al, that opto isolators are "NEVER necessary and are NOT recommended with JR receivers and will often lead to unexpected side effects such as continuous servo chatter".
Appreciating that there are commercial reasons for saying this, and leaving aside any opinions as to whether or not optos are necessary, I just wondered if anybody out there has experienced any problems that they could definitely attribute to the use of an opto isolator - particulary when used with JR equipment?
TIA,
