Digital Servos and centering (Deadband)
One of the reasons to go to digital servos is centering accuracy.
After looking at the specs of some of your new servos, I need a little more understanding.
The standard 635 is listed in Servo City's specs as having a deadband of 4 microseconds.
The digital 5625 and 5645 are listed as 8 microseconds.
Questions:
1.) Will the 8 microsecond deadband have a noticeable effect on the centering capability? Hitec's really good servos have 1 microsecond deadband.
2.) Can the deadband be adjusted lower without ill effects using the programmer?
Thanks in Advance !!!

Your correct on the P/N's .... and
according to the spec sheet on the hitecrcd web site, those servos do have a 1 microsecond deadband.
Servo City's specs seem to be in error!
For a low cost servo .... Now I'm really impressed ...
I need at least 12 of them .... please don't tell my wife what I spend on this pastime.
