Hello all, I think I may have a problem with a servo so I decided to have a look for a servo tester, they are a cheap electronic gadget that helps you to, well, test servos I suppose.........
Not being very good with such matters I decided to read what it does and how to use it before buying, but unfortunately that left me more confused than before.
Here is a copy of what was written
'Can be synchronized output control 4 servos and used to compare the performance steering gear control of the steering servo output signal can be accurate to 2us (1 milliseconds = 1000 microseconds), you can test the steering gear is able to respond to subtle changes With PPM signal test function in the display, the input PPM signal changes while the input the PPM signal synchronization output to the servo Energized automatically enter manual mode (Manual) 20us 50H analog servo signal cycle, frequency 50Hz, rotary potentiometers to decrease or increase the width of the output pulse.'
Does that make sense to anyone? I was expecting you plug in the servo and the machine has a green or red light for problem or no problem...... Or an advanced version that says full movement took half a second and then you compare that time with what it says it should be.
My problem is that the servo alone seems to work fine but once plugged in other things seem to start going 'funny' I've checked the mixing on my radio and they are all off.
Any ideas?..... U2
