When setting up my receiver to automatically synch my two JR 8711 rudder servos, during the automatic synching, the servos move MUCH farther than they do when I simply move them with the transmitter. Is this normal?
Secondly, I heard (in Ali's video, I believe) that you can read the current draw from each servo in the .nav file. However, when I look at it with NavView, I only see the current draw for the whole system, not each servo. I see the position of each servo, but not the amperage draw.
Also, it seems as though the data is logged at 1 second intervals. Can I change this to log it with more frequency?
Thanks in advance,
Cody

Hi Cody,
You can adjust the travel limit in the transmitter and under configuration in the receiver. In addition you have more options of mixing in the transmitter as well. There might be some sharing of travel that limits the elevator only use. The limit in the receiver curve is what it synchronization runs to.
The current readout in the NavView file is total current only. There is no singular servo current available. There is more data available as you look at the 2D view. You can access that information by transforming the Nav View file to a CSV-file which you then can look at with Excel. Look at the manual for more info for that option.
Thanks,
Gerhard
