Servo confusion

Fatdaddy · 02-21-2009, 09:50 PM

Hey guys, I'm so confused I'm embarressed!! I'm tryin to hook up the servos on the ESmart...... and I just can't figure which one is which, you know the three around the main shaft. This is how new I am. I can't figure out how there named. Lookin as though your driving. The one in the rear? The one to the left? And to the right? There is no place in the manual that names them. I need to know this so I can get them plugged into the Rec. correctly. I'm using the Spektrum 7000.
Please, Please someone help me out with this.. I've never felt so stupid in my 49 years of life!!!! So when your done laughing please let me know...

Well I think I've maybe figured this out by watching Nuttcraze vid.
Now I need to center them. Figure out which ones need reversing, get it all wired up.. I'm sorry to be stupid here but as I've said the electrics are my very weakest thing. So any comments would be great.
Thanks

It's definitely a pain trying to figure out all the interactions. I'm glad I gradually stepped up from a Blade CP to a Belt CP and then the E-smart. I never would've figured out how to build the ES600 if I hadn't spent some time breaking and fixing my BCP.

I'm sure you'll do great.

Here's a simple diagram:

front

elev(ch3)(norm)

ail(ch2)(norm) pit(ch6)(reversed)

tail

On the swash mix menu start with this settings:
choose 120 deg swash
aile -60%
elev 60%
pit 80%

try these and fine tune accordingly. I think this will work with a DX7(I'm using a 9303)

Here's a simple diagram:

.................................................. ....................................front

.................................................. ..... elev(ch3)(norm)

.................................................. ..........ail(ch2)(norm) _______ pit(ch6)(reversed)

.................................................. ...................................... tail

On the swash mix menu start with this settings:
choose 120 deg swash
aile -60%
elev 60%
pit 80%

Fatdaddy · 02-24-2009, 08:39 AM

Thanks tons. This fourm is lucky to have you on board. We all will do much better cause of you!! Thank you!!

Just here to help out. Note if your controller has an option in the swash menu for expo(on or off), switch it on. It makes servo interaction less and makes a smoother movement to the heli.

Fatdaddy · 02-25-2009, 07:11 AM

Yes it does. And I will try it... Thanks Again!

Although shouldn't you keep expo off while you're setting up, right? That way it's easier to debug servo interactions. Then turn it back on once you're ready to fly, right?

Yes, you set up swash level on full + and - pitch separately via travel adjust. After adjusting and making sure that the swash plate is level on both extremes, you will notice that the swash plate will travel with a funky movement up and down. Turn on the swash mix expo, then everything should smooth out.
