Servo creeping-deadband help with Mini Pro 1 I have a Mini Pro 1 mount with Jr servos. I'm using my old Hitec Eclipse 7 tx for the mount. The servos creep and using trim and/or sub trim won't fix it. Is there anything I can use to fix this?The Hitec Eclipse doesn't have a digital trim setting like my JR10x does.Thanks. |

I find that if I set the trim step to a very low value and then run alot of expo it allows for very fine trim adjustment near center.not sure if you can do this on the Hitec (don't own one). There is a mod that you can do with analog servos to increase deadband... maybe it will work with digitals too, but keep in mind that increased deadband means less holding torque. |

I don't think the Hitec has the trim step feature.Its a little frustrating when I fly solo and have to either run with the mount off or always correct it in flight (I need more thumbs). |

What axis is creeping? If it is the pan then you can modify your JR servo to increase the deadband without worrying too much about holding torque.If it is tilt then the best way is to use an external feedback pot on the tilt axis.Paul. |

Yes the pan is the one that creeps the most.Any links/info to adjust the pan dead band?Thanks. |

For more deadband in the panning servo centre.If you want to do a servo hack and can solder:
Here is a method I use in a post some time ago.
(instructions with pics)
http://runryder.com/t226966p1Note for link, I use around 3nF cap these days with multiturn trims in the Tx for finer tunning, if trims are standard then you may want to use the 6nF cap in it.
Be aware the bigger the cap and wider the deadband also means a faster starting speed of the servo which is not so good for precise framing.Done 2 types of servos but not JR.
But it is likely they are much the same hack.Cheers

DJ is right and I think I talked to you on the phone. If you could set the trims to say 1 instead of 4 you could fine tune the mount and it would go away.Look under Hobby Lobby I have had customers using 4 channel radios buy a inline servo regulator and it worked great. May check that out.Hope that helps.John |

Yeah if you can get the trim to do it for you on that Tx and it doesnt drift at all then thats better and simpler than a servo mod and the best place to start with it.Cheers

The Hitec Eclipse doesn't allow you to change trim rate.Will check links out thank you. |

One of the best things I ever did for my aerial work was buy a used 8103 for my mount radio...it solved a lot of problems. You can pick them up pretty cheap nowadays.Brad |

DJ,I tried the expo same results. Scott had the same problem with his 9C on my mount but never had the time to adjust his trim rate.Might be time for a new tx. |

If it came to that, Id go for the 6 cent capacitor in the servo and a few mins soldering.  |
