Bang bang

[antrock101]

hey im thinking of using the old bang bang system to operate my axe will cost bout 30p for the screws and 10 quid for a servo but how can i make it failsafe and would it be regarded as unsafe its and axe weapon oiff an electric motor

Just add the failsafe before the servo....this should be acceptable.

[antrock101]

will the servo set to neutral position again? otherwise the current is not broken as the servos still on the positive and negative wires

[woody]

The failsafe will return the servo to a position preset by you ....just twiddle a screw to set the failsafe position.

sounds gd any idea where i can pic one up i presume they work like mixers

[woody]

Ive always used the FS1 but the Xtra seems popular .....but a different method of setting the failsafe position.

I still have the FS1 in several machines. Just not in my spektrums or robots where the switches and speedos have their own failsaves built in.
