Default RE: servo glitch /onboard glow??

mvallyman,

Try putting a diode (purchase at Radio Shack)across the neg and positive side before the switch.
This needs to hook up so that the cathode (side with the band) is hooked to the positive side
and the anode (side without the band) is hooked to the negative side.
Hooked up backwards, bad things will happen.
What could possibly be happening is that when the switch releases, a voltage spike is being sent down the
negative side right into the receiver. The diode will "bleed" the spike off the neg side before it gets to
the receiver.
Not sure on your electronic expertise, but if you need help, feel free to pm me.
