| servo jitter
Anyone noticed steering servo jitter? - it happens only while moving the "steering wheel" on the transmitter - ok when wheel movement stopped - otherwise works fine...

I think I narrowed it down - It was intermittent - but I noticed when I turned off my 2.4Ghz telephone it seemed to go away...

Thats weird. Your phone shouldnt have an effect on it, that is supposed to be the beauty of dsm. Have you checked the plug on the receiver? My 645mg twitched a little when I first put it on the truck and I pushed in the connector and it stopped...

Does it do it any more or any less based on how charged the battery is? My girlfriends mini t does that, but its FM and only does it when the battery is low.

I cant replicate it - ive only noticed it the once - and yea the pack would have been freshly charged - so maybe thats got something to do with it - Ive read about lipos sometimes causing servo jitter - but Im running a 1600 NiMH pack

Is it a digital or analog servo ? Do you have settings on your radio to choose one or the other(digital/analog), if you do switch to the other choice and see if it makes a difference. |

The 2.4 frequency, is mostly a bandwith that alot of modern communication uses. Many of those devices kinda use a assignable address for devices on both sides of the communication to talk without anybody listening in(causing interference). It is uncommon for this to happen but it can, especially intermittently as devices search for one another and develop a connection. Same reason why when entering some larger buisness who extensively use wireless connections for network connectivity, they ask you to disable all bluetooth enabled phones. Because yes all bluetooth devices also operate in the 2.4 band.

it could also be that the servo is a digital and they do kinda have a whine to them when they kinda jitter that is the best place for it lol...and if u need something a little more interesting try this http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...T/CIMG3029.jpg |
