Max voltage limit for Fut SBD-1 S-Bus decoder?
Today I was setting up a Futaba SBD-1 S-Bus Decoder using a R7008SB rx, Fut BLS155 servos and a 2-cell A123 battery (I use nothing else).
After several hours playing with it, the SX3 channel stopped working, apparently permanently. Switching in other BLS155s didn't fix SX3, and the servo that was on SX3 when it failed still works fine on the other two channels.
I haven't been able to find a max voltage spec for the SBD-1, but if it's less than 6 volts, I guess it couldn't handle the the approx 6.3 volts from the A123. I wasn't expecting that because the R7008SB and the BLS155s have all worked for over a year on A123s with absolutely no problems.
What say Bax... you agree I smoked it?
Cheers
