Good day to all
I have created a flowchart for the control of 6 channels for RC servo motors from the Example servo component, am trying to create my own RC transmitter and receiver units. The flowchart has 4 servos which operate with joysticks such as store bought units, the other 2 channels are for landing gear and flaps.
What I would like to know is how do I incorporate a trim pot on the 4 flight control pots? Have tried many different scenarios using the same and different pins to trim the setting of the main pot, but the servo goes a bit crazy as the two inputs seem to cause confusion. How do they do this on commercial units?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Regards
Ted

Re: Trimming an RC servo motor
Hi Ben
Have opened up my RC transmitter and found that the trim slider merely adjusts the potentiometer's angular position relative to the joystick lever. I was under the impression that it was an additional pot linked to the main one for trimming purposes.
Thanks anyway for offering to help.
