[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba R6014FS Receivers

[Archie Stafford]

Bob,

 

The 608 is a full FASST receiver.  The older receivers only accept fail safe
on channel 3.  The newer ones, including the 608 have fail safe for all
channels and use the newer FASST setting,

I think I read somewhere that the R608FS receiver uses the same chipset and
has the same problem.

 

So far I have not had any problems with the servos that I use, but I was not
able to check the pulse width out of the higher channels with my Hitec
programmer. I have to wonder, however, exactly what is the logic level for
the various servos? Also, does the logic level of the servo change with a
different battery voltage? Does the output level from the rx change with a
different battery voltage?

 

I guess this is a good reason to use some sort of output conditioner
(powerbox, etc) if mixing brands of receivers and servos.

I was reading the FAQ section of the Futaba website when a particular item
caught my eye regarding the R6014FS 2.4 receiver.  The FAQ states that the
use of non Futaba digital servos with the R6014FS receiver may be
problematic due to the 6014's lower output voltage of 2.7 volts.  Since I do
occasionally mix and match Futaba and JR servos and use the 8 channel 2.4
receiver, I wondered if this issue was common to all Futaba 2.4 receivers.
Here's Futaba's answer: "The FAQ refers only to the R6014FS receiver, this
is the only one that has the lower voltage."  Just thought I'd pass this
along in case someone experiences performance anomalies with the 6014
receivers using other than Futaba servos.
