[NSRCA-discussion] low profile JR servo?

Tue Feb 27 12:03:39 AKST 2007

Mike:
It is not a simple fix.  There are board-level components that have to be
changed out, as well as the system reset.  Probably a 3 hour job.

I'll send a regulator, you just need to tell me what voltage you need. 5.1v,
5.6v or 6.0v

I used my AeroFly Professional Deluxe with my 9Z w/o problems.  make sure
you are set for PPM in the model. and that the trainer circuit is active on
all channels.

Tony,

You had said something earlier about some upgrade for the14mz.  When did
this become available.  Is it an easy fix?

Mike

ps I need a non switch regulator. could you mail one?  Also, I can't get my
sim9aeroflypro to work with my 9z.  Do you need to fix something?  I have
sent the sim to the company and they say it is fine.Thanks

What is the resolution of the shaft encoder?

Hi Tony,

Does the throttle channel use the same encoder? If so, then it must be some
sort of absolute encoder.

Gordon:
I am just passing along the info as the comment was made.  I have the
encoders in stock, as Futaba made a change in the production of the 14MZ and
sent me new ones to change out when needed.

The futaba 14MZ flyer I have says "Gimbals with long-life potentiometer,
quad bearings, adjustable tension and detent."

In general encoders are not absolute positioning devices and you need to
define "home". Resolvers are absolute positioning devices but larger and
more costly.

The Futaba 14MZ uses shaft encoders on the sticks..

Hah, I didn't even think about the stick pots. Seems that would be the first
place they would try using shaft encoders.

Linear outputs from the servos would be great, also. Oh, wait a minute, that
was done 35 years ago with the KPS-11 servos. Nevermind....   :-)

Isn't technology great - $2000+ TX and $100+ servos with everything riding
on a 50 cent pot on each end!

When you say analog, I assume you are talking about the feedback loop? I
wonder how long it will be until we get shaft encoders in our servos. Or,
for that matter, the shaft encoder could be mounted to the control surface
itself.

Correct.  Well kind of.  Actually all of our servos are analog but you are
right, the super servos used the same principles as our modern "digital"
servos.

I was under the impression that the "Super Servos" were actually first
generation digital servos. Is that not correct?
