So Jim it's a good thing to set your ATV/AFR +100?<BR>

I'll talk about Futaba but the same applies to other brands though the numbers and terminology may be different. The maximum resolution available is 2048 increments. This means that a receiver channel output pulse width can be at any of 2048 values between 0.9 and 2.1 milliseconds. This translates to... the servo output arm can be at any of 2048 angular positions. In actual use we will have less resolution because to get to 0.9 or 2.1 you'd need to put the trim and subtrim hard over in opposite directions respectively. But you do want to maximize the pulse width range and you do this by keeping the ATV and AFR high (over 100). I try to keep the pulse width in the 1.0 to 2.0 millisecond range. I use a spline curve and don't use Dual rates. Then one must use the mechanical linkage to get the proper throw.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And yes if you reduce ATV or AFR you will reduce the range of pulse width values but it would not be correct to call that clipping or compressing. I would call it lowering the dynamic range, but I better Google that to see what they say.</DIV>

If the right elevator ATV is set up at lets say 120 percent (down elevator) then the other side is set at like 90 percent (up elevator)- what would the speed be to go down more than the speed to go up. This is with respect to the left elevator, assuming its set at 100 percent up and down. Since its less steps, and same step speed (1.17us per step) times 1024 equals 1.2 milliseconds times 60 degrees if throw is like .024 seconds, but with a servo speed of .2 seconds per 60 degrees times 2 (120 degrees throw total up and down) puts it at about 2 percent difference (of .4 seconds). Maybe I should have gotten up early and gone with Chris to the WRAM...<BR><BR>Bottom line his program setup was straight out of the mad kitchen chef show. When I asked him why he originally did not take the time to set it up mechanically, I just got kind of a blank stare- like if the radio CAN do that, then what's the problem. When we set everything to normal, zero sub trim, and mechanically adjusted the servos and control arms- everything worked fine. Now this is an extreme example but I got to thinking that if you minimize these electronic setup things it will help with precision. I try to use little or no subtrim, but do use ATV in the amounts up to 5 or 7 percent to get the end point throws just right. <BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Don<BR><BR><BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: Bob Richards <<A style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="mailto:bob@toprudder.com">bob@toprudder.com</A>><BR>To: General pattern discussion <<A style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A>><BR>Sent: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 8:55 pm<BR>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Random tip on ATV and setup</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
