Default Servos - Coreless or Digital?

Steve, I agree with everything you wrote with the exception of:

Steve's post,
The downside to digitals, of course, is their cost, and the fact that you need to use PCM to get the most out of them.

I even agree with the cost part. I disagree with the fact that you need PCM to get the most out of them. The difference in resolution would be at the greatest minimal.


The one thing that has not been brought out is the great holding power that the digitals have, even the newer low cost versions. When you move a control surface x degrees it stays at x degrees till you command it to move again. This is one of the reasons that digitals draw more average current.

One last thought to add, the servo, be it regular or digital has no idea what type transmitter or receiver it is hooked to. The signal strength and level is the same for both.
