Servo Y cords
« on: January 16, 2014, 05:23:01 pm »

I need to run four servos simultaneously, preferably off one receiver channel. Will a cascading pair of Y cords, splitting one channel's output to four servos, work?

I've heard that 2.4 gHz radios also have weaker (lower voltage) servo signals? Am I going to have a voltage drop problem to the point the servos won't respond to commands? Total receiver to servo distance will be about 24 inches.

Many Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you, both. Never knew these type of things existed. On with the project planning!
