Servo programing

[barney]

Anyone have practical experience using a digi Servo programmer to adjust the neutral points on servos. Whats available and are they worth the dosh? Is the Hit-tec one for example suitable for adjusting say JR/Futaba servos etc or only Hi-Tecs.

I have the Hitec programmer
You can program Hitec servos with it (set end points, neutral position, deadband, etc) very very good... for hitec servos...
Other servo brands, you can plug them in to check that they work, and read centre pulse-width, check end points - but not program them, obviously.

I think it's a pretty decent bit of kit, but I split the cost with 2 mates - I'm not sure if I would have bought one on my own - unless I was feeling flush at the time

Cheers,

Thanks Rob..thats what I figured Hitec programing only..(Its actually a Hitec I want to program) but have JR/Futabas also..

There may be one in the club to borrow ..Do Futaba/Jr offer there own programers too? I'll prob just do it the old fashioned way and fit and drill a disc

thanks brian

As far as I know Hitec are the only ones with a programming unit - I think they're the only ones with a programmable servo (in this way).
