Solved Servo Problems

[james1234]

and you are sure that the servo is plugged in the the correct channel on the receiver?

yep!

 

[james1234]

those plugs can be inserted in either of those upside down

true but you’d have to really try, it’s not easy to put it in wrong.

 

[Merv]

Yep, I assume it’s the servo plugs because they can’t fit in upside down in the receiver or extensions.

Take a look at the individual pins in the plug. Are any of them pushed back?

Did you try and rebind the receiver? I have had this happen before for some reason the receiver lost bind, and did not work correctly.

nope they all look fine

I did, still nothing

Do you have another receiver to try? Pictures at this point would help the best.

sadly I do not, I think i’m going to get new servos.

Yeah, everything looks connected correctly. Maybe its something inside the servo?

Yeah I think the general consensus is that the servos are duds or got fried somehow.

Do they smell odd or smell different than the working servo? If they do then maybe they could be fried. I fried one and the smell is definitely strong.

One of them does smell a little bit like it could be, the working one and other two don’t have any smell.

Well if they don't have a smell then I doubt they are really burned. They might be broken in some other way though. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Do you have a servo tester to connect them to?

A servo tester is not expensive, £3.25 post free and from the UK. It is a most valuable piece of kit. It will run directly from an ESC BEC connection or from a 6V battery
