Having a problem with Spartan+8900G

[Azlum]

I'm using a brand new Spartan and brand new 8900G on my build, supplying 5.2v to both via a ReactorX

I've done the servo setup on the Spartan and set it to 1520/333 (default) which is supposed to be the right setting for the 8900G.

With the servo plugged into the Spartan, when I turn on the heli the 8900G jitters back and forth CONSTANTLY, and forever. It just sits there moving 1mm to the left and 1mm to the right, as fast as it can, non-stop. I've tried lowering the gain, and the movement of the servo DOES stop, but only with the gain set to less than 10%.

If I plug the servo directly into my receiver, it does not jitter, and functions normally.

Has anyone run into this? I have a support ticket started at Spartan-RC.com but they have been slow to respond.

I've double checked that I have the right setting for servo setup like 5 times now.

Not related to a Spartan but I had the very same problem with a GY401 not long back.

Gyro was faulty.:(

The guy's at Spartan are first class and will get you sorted very soon.:thumbup:

If you have the gyro reversed then the set up will be opposite to in the manual, double check and make sure you do have it set to 1520/333
Do you have the spartan link cable?

[Azlum]

Yeah I've checked it using my Flash-link and it is indeed set to 1520/333. I have literally checked this 5 or 6 times now.

Have you tried re-installing the firmware, and see if that cures it?

[Azlum]

Hmm no I haven't tried that.... I'll give it a shot in the morning if I haven't heard back from Angelos.

Thanks

[invertsick]

it seems you a faulty one there :(

i havent heard of such problem before.
hope you will soon get reply from angelos,
I had a friend who was facing problems with spartan and he sent it back after contacting angelos.
they just switched it with a new one.
top notch service from spartan :thumbup:

Sorry I didn't update...

Been talking to Angelos over the past few days and I am sending it back to Spartan tomorrow morning. There is definitely something wrong with it.

I am confident that Angelos will take care of it, just sucks about the downtime. Oh well.
