Jim O,
So for F3a we should set hysteresis to 0 for better servo centering and response should be to 1 for the fastest response?
When setting your deadband are you still using spline with +/- 0.5 either side of center or have you found an easier method ?
Shane
Correct. To convince yourself on the hysteresis, set it on 32 on a channel that has your best servo on it. In my testbed I've got an old JR 4000 Super Servo that is still probably the best in terms of centering and low deadband. When I set the Hysteresis to 32 I could see the servo move in small steps and see the poor centering with the naked eye. No other measurements are needed. We spent a lot of money to get better resolution and faster response so I can't figure out why anyone would want to degrade it.
I haven't been able to fly the system yet but I do plan to do the stick deadband thing. With the +/- 5% I can't feel a problem on the bench but we'll have to see if it is a problem in the air. It is very easy to put in or out so I can try it both ways. I'll try to test the centering both ways with Jerry Budd's meter to see if it is measurable.
