Folks, I had a strange glitch this eve???
Ok, I was setting up my new 9 channel optic 9 with my new A9. I binded it and it worked ok, as i exercised the rear servos split elevator & dual 'y' rudder.
I turned things on and off a few times, then on my last time, all of a sudden, the everything went into a uniform stepping motion and I lost all control. Everything or all the servo's all started stepping in one direction, step, step, step, step, step, then after all those methodical steps, it stopped and I got control back????
what the heck was that?
Setup, or rather this was a new setup.
No motor in the plane yet, just servo's...
the radio was hanging outside the plane.
The 9-channel antennas were hanging down and touching each other, while the antenna's were touching the wire going from the battery back to the receiver?
[:'(]
Thanks in advance
The only time I have seen the step, step, step movement from the servos is when my battery was low or not big enough for the load the servos were pulling. [sm=confused.gif]
I concur. I had that same behavior crop up on a different brand of 2.4GHz equipment. This was after I'd been flying the rig for over a year. One day it just started doing that step-step-step every time, at turn on. It took some experimenting with another Rx and another battery to figure it out. The battery checked good under load, but even fully charged the Rx would step the servos several times at turn on. Swapped out the Rx pack and it's worked fine ever since. I have no idea how or why that other battery started causing such behavior, but I disposed of that pack.
