Steve I don't get the part where you want me to connect the signal in from Rx and then to the receiver. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

You need to take your gear channel (say ch5)from receiver and the orange or white wire is the signal wire. That wire will go to the Arduino pin D2. Pin D3 is the orange or white wire from servo. The way I wired my Arduino is, I connected 5 JST connectors to the Arduino board. Than the other side will connect to correct wires from receiver and switches,etc. That way I can just unplug it if I need to.

Okay, much better. What do you mean with tapped off?

Thanks

Help guys,,,


burnt 2 servo already. Tower Pro 360. Become heated up and dead.  i set voltage to 6.8v on stepper DC converter.
Then i replace another servo and happy for 5 minute. . Burnt.....

did you do the mode with the limit switches wired into the servo with 2 diodes

tq guys,


btw have to wait for servo...

Yes, that's correct.

To test, unconnect your servo but set it in the middle position so not touching either of the switches. When you first turn on nothing will move, this is coded in so no fingers get trapped. Flip your controller switch and you should see your led's start to flash. Now, click one of your switches with a screwdriver and hold it down. If your LED's go solid then you know this is the direction your servo should be moving for that switch on your controller. Flip the switch and double check the other microswitch.  Lastly connect the servo up and make sure its driving the right way. It will burn out if it's going in the opposite direction.  If it needs reversing you can just swap the pin numbers in the top of the code and reprogram.

You can also check with a multi-meter that the + and - (NC / NO ) pins on the switch never see each other when activated.

Does this all make sense?

I'm on my third servo too.. lol I did the same thing 'TWICE'  so you're not alone.
