thank you Woody,
I was going to offer the same advice.
It is also worth recalibrating if changing any part of the robot control system, such as reciever, transmitter, or motors. I certainly does no harm, and I have been advised by Robot Power that correcting the calibration will cure 90% of customers problems.
Tried all kinds of things
Re-set the Sidewinder, and changed the settings on the Spectrum that is the ELE and AIL Travel adjustment settings (For the RH stick) tried it at 100%, 115%, 125% and 150% no difference in output to the motor, when I went below the 100% mark to 90% the power was reduced but only in one direction?? I don€™t know why that should happen unless it is to do with the one stick operation; this is set up on the Sidewinder!!
Still mysteries like this are what make this game such fun. Like I say I can live with the power output as it stands. If anyone has any other ideas let me know or alternatively have a play when we meet at Swindon.
Just a thought when I get Saint Mk 2 going I was thinking of running the Bosch motors at 36 volts will this be ok? Or should I try to reduce the power to the motors via the Spectrum ELE and AIL Travel adjustment settings? That is if I can get the same voltage backwards and forwards.
Thanks Craig
:)
Mr Stu i dont need to read books you set it up for me:)
ONE big problem is i do have to stop in beast to fire (same setup on roboteq you dont)there is a 9v batter in line as well as 24v
Little john said the sidewinder is slower not me as i dont drive it compared to the roboteq,
not convinced yet as awaiting the new sidewinder befor i mess with the spectrum ( but could do a test swap back to 40 meg but No thanx
James please ans your email if you can see this thread you can see email im sure yes thats a dig!

over in ireland i converted back to 24v from 36v after i had to revert to Stus sidewinder ( thanks again :) )
I did find the same problem, that it wouldnt fire my 2 fire burkets while driving, i too had to stop before i could fire.
To the pneumatic experts.... i noticed a slight drop in flipper performance too..... maybe because it was sub 0 temperatures.... but woul firing a burket on 36v open it quicker hence get better flow??? I was just wondering.
woody or mario im sure you know the answer?
Im reverting back to the roboteQ for Ripper EVo and back to 36v as the sidewinder is going in something else.
John
whats it going in jonno?
my new toy? :proud:
something new, thats all im saying for now...
No your toy needs something a bit bigger :)
John
hehe thats what i thought :P
I wouldnt have thought the Burkert was opening slower ...rather as you suggest the low air temperature... the bottle pressure drops down to 500 psi @ zero degrees celsius and 250 psi @ minus 10 degrees celsius etc.
ok, just wondered / hoped !! :)
John
Oh it was easily Zero degress ain Ireland... so 500psi - no wonder the flippers were pants unless they go the heaters/hair dryers out.
LOL @ John - well next time let me at ur Current and Slew rate and specktrum settings and we can sort it correctly this time, same to jonno when he uses the sidewinder in his new toy.
But hurry up and get building my new big big big big toy for Swindon :talker:
