For those that after trying this still have the same issue: you should try using a capacitor between VCC and power supply and it should fix the jitter.
@SladkaPritomnost6 жыл бұрын
that's something a bit different... servo jitter is caused by interference on pwm (S+) Noise on +5Vdc is a different story, you can have smooth and stable 5Vdc and still jitter, although root cause of the problem is however mostly the same -> servo coil.

Sorry, another delayed response. I'll have to read my Gmail more often. It is OK to mix analog and digital servos. Digitals put more strain on the power supply. Proven reliable, metal-gear analog servos are just as good as digital for most applications where you don't need the faster response that digitals can provide.

@Rcbeacon9 жыл бұрын
+CA Hau The digital servo draws current from the power supply (the receiver and ESC or BEC) in very short but high current pulses. So the average current is low, but the peak current is high. These high current pulses upset the smooth supply voltage and cause interference that upsets the other servos. Especially servos that do not have good filtering already built in. The circular core adds inductance to the lead and filters out some of the interference. Some interference still gets through, but if it is small enough that it does not upset servos etc. it doesn't matter. Better filters are possible and advisable on larger, expensive or more dangerous models. But a filter core is small, cheap, simple to fit, and usually works well enough. I always add a extra filter capacitor to the 5V power directly at the receiver for some extra safety margin.
@cahau83939 жыл бұрын
+PMB-NZ thank you for the informative and prompt reply! Am i right to say that if i am only using a single unit of servo motor, the jitter can be solved just by either connecting a capacitor between 5v and ground or resorting to ur method?

@power-max9 жыл бұрын
Put a large bypass capacitor across the 5V line and ground connected as close to the servo's as possible. That should prevent interference too. Either way, ferrite increases the inductance of the wires, and the way it is done, common mode rejection is increased. (AC noise that's common to both pins, as in not differential) The effect is that the voltage will sag between the digital servo and inductor. That could be an issue it if was a lot, and take away slightly at the speed of corrections and performance. So a bypass capacitor on it would be very helpful. And also prevent electrical noise from being conducted to the rest of the servo's.

Hi PMB....please advise if it is ok to mix digital with analogue servos in a plane....from your video it looks like it's possible without any problem. I want to replace the analogue servos for digitals in the wings for the ailerons and leave the other analogue servos for the other control surfaces as they seem ok. The reason is because I am not confident with the existing 645MG servos centering properly. I am using dual ailerons and elevator set up in a DX7s Tx.

There's also another issue. If you put a digital servo on that receiver (not digital) the servo (HTX900) will go into analog mode wich is not it's best mode. You should only use digital servo when you have a digital capable receiver or FC. In fact most modern fc's you can set the puls speed/width for a digital servo. In every other case the digital servo will be in analog mode which causes the jitter.

u can also twist ur servo wires and add a cap to the power wire
@Rcbeacon10 жыл бұрын
This is a good idea, every bit helps. Twisting the wires reduces their ability to pick up and radiate interference if the signals or currents carried are ballanced. The power supply current is ballanced between +ve and -ve. Capacitors help a lot and are much better with a toroidal core added, or you don't need such a large capacitor. When I was testing some small 12g metal gear digital servos I noticed current draw spiking to about 9 Amps, but for only very short pikes. Capacitors can easily suppress most of this and it doesn't bother most BEC/UBEC. These current spikes generate interference that can upset other equipment in the model such as reducing radio range.

I got the ring cores from Soanar/Jaycar but something similar should be available from Digikey, Mouser, Element 14 or RS Components. The bigger the core the more effective it is, but in model planes you also want to keep the weight down. Any core is better than none, and the more wire turns the better.

@JohnFHendry9 жыл бұрын
That's not good for business as HK relies on being able to provide low cost batteries and servos to sell their products. I guess I should have said if you get a good one from a good batch... And I just got the popular 800mm Reaktor 3D plane that when you put a yardstick down the side of the fuselage the tail is almost one and quarter inches off to the side and it looks more like a banana than a plane's fuselage, and the wing looks like it has two different airfoils with one side visually thicker than the other side that has a sharp leading edge like on a fast flying pattern plane. To say this would be the worst flying 3D plane is an understatement and now I'm kicking myself in the head for not getting the Twisted Hobby's Crack Laser instead due to shipping costs and seeing I did not get the only banana being sold as a 3D airplane making sending back for a new one a risk. First negative issue with a HK product so hoping I get a straight one after sending it back. My Techone Tempo measures right on and expected the same from it's little brother. I'll send it back and with the added shipping costs that's higher than most companies I didn't save a penny and ordered a lot to go with it. Could be my last plane order from HK as too much "savings" is going into shipping costs. I suspect the people making this stuff are getting angry as anyone with no experience could have done a better job. If the wing was OK I'd just unglue the hot glue and straighten the fuse but nothing can be done to fix the wing within reason. ERRR! As for the HXT servos despite the usually good reports of dependability and fairly good performance I only use Futaba or equal quality servos. I have never had a servo fail except one and that was not the servos fault I purchased used with a dry bearing that rusted out after a year. But seems even the best amazing new servos coming out made by the new companies popping up fail once and a while and Futaba has backed down keeping up making better servos due to low profit margins showing the danger of buying "cheap". Just didn't try using a top quality digital servo that centers and holds it position under load well with no gear slop as it's hard to go back and be happy with your plane. This hobby is addicting and good servos are just one of many drugs used to keep you hooked;-)

Jeremy Vest I don't think these small servos are as good as the original HXT900s from when I first bought them years ago. Just the gears don't seem as well made. I've still got quite a few operating. I've been going off HK a bit in recent times for more technical bits. I've bought a few of their Multiwii flight controllers, most of which are modified copies of other boards. As copies they are not as good and lack basic information. HK are still great for most other parts.

Have a problem, dont know where to go, so i'm coming to you. I got the Flysky CCT6B Tx and Rx. 1. I bound the Tx and Rx. Power to Rx is from a 9V DC battery through a IC 7806 - for 6V out. 2. After bound, the servo worked fine, (Ch1, Left and Right Control Stick). Turned 30 degree one side, back to center and turned 30 to other. 3. During my second approach, i added another servo (metal Geared), when switched on both started jittering. Dont know why. 4. So, i removed it and tried with one servo, again the same jittering at the moment power is on to Rx, and continuous the jitter. I dont understand what to do. Any problem with the connection. Plz do help me if you can. What makes it to jitter.

@Rcbeacon10 жыл бұрын
Hello. Sorry, took me a while to see this. What type of 9V battery? The small ones won't supply much current, and the voltage will droop. Servos often draw high peak currents for very short times. You need an oscilloscope to see it. The 7806 regulator is not the best in this application. I should have the input voltage always at least 3V higher than the output voltage. 78xx regulators can easily oscillate at high frequencies if not decoupled correctly (capacitors on input and output. A LDO (low drop-out) regulator would be better. But manu of these draw a high quiescent current (current draw with no load). Good luck.
