I'm searching all of Joe's stuff and everything else I can get my hands on. I'm trying to center my servo's.

Am I the only one not getting this stuff?

I see this in the TH-2 Support Documentation:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Servo Centering

Modify Constants - 2..9

Functions:

Set servo centering position -12.5..12.5 percent

This is used to set the centering (servo neutral position) on the servo outputs.
It provides a range of +/- 12.5 percent which is more than half way on most splined servo output shafts.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is the constants file I downloaded and then uploaded into my TH-2.

Constants file created by Tech Link
Copyright 2005 by Tech Model Products L.L.C.
Application - TH-2

:1000400373B2D06499A88F018A00000032323232FF
:080050031E01A8FF000001FFFF
:00000001FF


Which numbers do I change?

I'm so confused! Please help a fellow Hooker!

Thanks,

John

Well, if you didn't skip school the day they taught hexidecimal, it would be pretty obvious! Just kidding ... You need to download the Tech Link program in order to modify the constants.

All of this stuff is Greek to me. I'd love to get together with one of you guys at a funfly to help fine tune this bird if I ever get it in the air.

Thanks again. Love your pics and your video's .. nice looking machine you got there.

Ch53e - Were you able to install/run the program for modifying the constants as per the link chinookmark gave? Let us know if you need any additional help. I'd love to give hands-on assistance setting things up, however I'm in CA where I understand your in VA... :roll:

Yes Hopper,

Once I opened my eyes and saw what you all were talking about, it was very easy. I only wish you could adjust it while the board was hot. Kind of a pain to change a value, save it, unplug it, turn on radio, turn on RX and then see what you changed. Or am I doing that wrong too?

I do appreciate all the help you guys have been giving me.

Nope ... you are doing that right ... pain to close all the windows ...and reopen them too. :thumbdown: ,, but the bright side is once dialed in you don't have to go back :thumbup:

I learned that too about closing windows. Only took one time doing that to learn that trick. I do appreciate all the help.
