ZOSKAY 35kg 270 degree servo - review, install, test

[@chrisyanda8884]

The degree rating of the servo has almost no effect in RC, this has to do with robotics use of servos normally. The 270 is referring to mechanical limits of the servo and the ability of the encoder to accurately giving position info for that range. RC transmitters do not generate a signal range for this amount of range on the steering channel so you could put any servo of any rating and get nominally the same range of motion. The difference in range you are seeing is likely due to a slight resolution difference in the PWM signal interpretation between the two servos. Transmitters do exist that allow you to alter the pwm frequency range and change the angle range of the servo.

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you! Since this video, I have tried the same servo on with my Futaba gear. With it, I can set the endpoint past 100%, and it does provide even further angle that way at least.

[@readeracingRC]

If I'm understanding. You would want the 180° and not the 270° . I have both but It is one that went bad. The only way to tell the difference is the 3 colors of the wire. Other then that they look exactly the same.. .but you kinda lost me about the pwn. It digital so it should be ok

Nice man! I put this in my Capra, and so far it's been working great!

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

Your radio and receiver are the deciding factor in how far the servo swings.

[@RoadsideRC]

You are right! Those certainly have an influence. Since this video, I have tried this servo with one of my Futaba radios. It does give it more swing, but still not the full 270*

Hello, I have one of these servos and I couldn't get the detach to work with arduino, I mean the servo stays fixed but active if the power is not disconnected? or is there a way to disable it and be able to move it by hand with any command from arduino? thank you

[@RoadsideRC]

I'm sorry, I have never used it with arduino.

[@pepopepez105]

@@RoadsideRC thank you anyway

[@officialflippers6944]

To get 270 degrees you need to increase the end points. The reason you can’t do that is because your transmitter only goes up to 100% however you can program certain controllers to increase the end points more. My controller goes to 140% however I think the amount you can change depends on the transmitter.

[@officialflippers6944]

I think or maybe your transmitter goes only a bit more than 100% Try using a programmable radio and program it to increase the end points

[@RoadsideRC]

Great point! I hadn't thought of how some controllers go past 100%. It always is outside of my Engineer mind to think past 100! :)

[@officialflippers6944]

Roadside RC I don’t know why all controllers don’t have max end points and then you can dial them down. Some things are a bit strange. Thanks for the vid I am thinking about modifying the servo on my vkar bison.

About you're 270 degree remark, its based on receiver settings, but with the 180 and 270 being the same price might as well go with the 270 in case you find other uses for it other than steering which is why I got the 270.

@@RoadsideRC necesitas un pwm signal expander o una emisora mejor

[@fuzzytech3846]

Not sure if they asked you or not but they totally used a screen shot of your video on the product page on amazon as one of the images. 5th one down I believe. Also core less servos (or motors) just mean the permanent magnets are on the inside and the windings are self supporting and go on the outside of the magnets instead of the inside like a regular dc motor. The idea being there is much less mass to start and stop as the windings aren't braced to a heavy steel core. This teamed with a digital controller which updates the signal to the motor at over 300hz (compared to a analog servo controller which only updates at 50hz) you get a faster more "snappy" feel.

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! Yes, the seller reached out and asked for it. I thought that was kind of cool!

You need to switch to using a PWM signal to get the full turn.

[@Alaa-hm6cm]

Hi! Can any digital servo use arduino for programming? Thankyou!

[@RoadsideRC]

I am sorry, but I have never used an arduino for programming.

[@fuzzytech3846]

As far as "should you be able to use any digital servo" yes, as long as you're sending the correct signal which I believe is just PWM so you shouldn't have any issue (there are plenty of articles that show / explain the correct frequency range for servos online). In fact most digital and analog servos work the same way it's just digital is way more precise. The control signal to servo is the same (unless you buy a specific servo that uses sbus or some other type of signal) it's just the analog servo only updates the signal to motor at 50hz but the digital servo updates at over 300hz. This is crucial in some cases, this update also applies to the self sustaining angle hold that servos do. If a outside force tries to push a servo the servo will attempt to hold its position. The 50hz update of the analog servo may be to slow for what ever it is you're trying to do and the servo will allow the outside force to effect it more then the digital will.

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

You could have tied some fishing line to the servo horn and clamped the servo in a vice. Then, added weight until it stopped lifting. Just through a maybe 90-120* swing mind you. And if you can't then the best you can do is just tell us subjectively.

[@RoadsideRC]

You are right again! That would have worked. Honestly - I did mess with some metal bars I had around to see if I could rig something up...but didn't get it to work. Still, I really enjoy this servo and run it in most of my trucks.

[@willierule3744]

That's just as far as your remote will let it go it's not a continuous throw that's just as far as your remote switch allows it to be it's not like turn on and just continue to go and then reverse polarity and go the opposite way until it wants to stop it goes only so far that your switch allows it to but if you set it up you could probably use it as for like a winch with a different kind of throwing switch where you just reverse the polarity back and forth and turn it on and just continue to go and go and go then it would probably do that but otherwise it's only going as far as your switch your steering knob will allow it to go

[@RoadsideRC]

[@jameshankssr466]

All radios have Different endpoint limits most servo specs are determined for robotics! If you connect different radios to it you will get different travel points! The more expensive radios have a greater end point adjustment! That tactic you have there is not the greatest radio and thats gonna limit how far the servo travels!

[@RoadsideRC]

You are 100% correct! I have since used this with my Futaba radio, and it gets much more travel when set at 120% steering end point. Still, no where near 270*.

[@SuperGokuSon]

Well its digital and it knows to stop. Just FYI it is given quadrants.

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks. I am not 100% on how these work. Another viewer said if I could turn my endpoints past 100%, it would turn farther.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

I'm no expert, tho I been in this mess for 40+ years, but to go to the maximum ends of a servo, u gotta have a servo programming box. We used to use them during my rc helicopter days. Too, it could possibly be the transmitter u have. On digital transmitters u can go to the hi (& low) side to beyond the max.

[@RoadsideRC]

You are right! Since this video, I have used one of these servos with one of my Futaba controllers, and I was able to get more throw from the servo. Either way, it works good, and since the 270* is the same price as the 180* - I don't see why not to get it. Thanks for the comment!
