Okay, just as i thoughtFirst off, the IBC is very touchy and the failsafe cuts in as soon as it gets a bad pulse. It is not a problem with the IBC, but a problem with your radio setup, we were initially told this by a SilverTone Radio expert when we first started getting the problems. To fix the problem, use coax from your reciever to your aerial base. Earth the shielding braid to the body through a capacitor(same as you use on your motor, will prevent any back feeding incase your motor wire short through the body), make a base loaded coil and tune it to your robots set up. To make a base loaded coil, the information is on the Paul Hills website.
We had this problem with Annihilation when we shifted it from our HMC servo driven mosfet controllers to the IBC, we couldnt get any signal unless the transmitter aerial was 5-6inch from the robots aerial. So we built a base loaded coil, tuned it to the robot and we now have over 10 meters of range.
The reason the Electronise will work in less tuned setup is because of the lower failsafe system and it will run on bad pulses or signals like a standard servo will, the antweight guys will be familiar with servo jitter![]()
The IBC is a bit of a pain in the backside to get radio setup with it, but when setup right, its brilliant!
