Valve backlash compensation
[Backlash]
Hydraulic valves often need a certain de-
flection to react. With clearance compensa-
tion the hydraulic valves react directly even
with small control movements.
several controls for this channel summed up
are more than 100%.
Tip:
Always adjust the mechanics first
and only make small adjustments with
your radio. If values under 80% seem to be
necessary for a servo it is advisable to
rethink the steering and place the rod further
inwards at the servo. If the deflection causes
problems in one direction only you can
mount the steering arm a little rotated.
Otherwise you lose torque / power!
Travel adjust
(limit control deflection)
Each control has three outputs so it can
affect three servo channels. The deflection
for these outputs can be adjusted from -
100% to +100% left and right. With 100%
the servo channel reaches the set full
deflection. As long as the control affects
only one servo channel the control should
be set to 100% and make all the adjust-
ments at the servo channel. There you can
increase the servo deflection to more than
100%.
Dead zone
Sets the range around the joystick center
position in which the control value is 0% that
is where the control doesn’t react.
Control filter
With this filter you can adjust the reaction
time of a control. While adjusting the value
first changes rapidly then a little slower.
Tip:
Filter values about 1,0 are ideal
for realistic vehicle steering.
Servo speed
The speed determines how long it takes the
servo to move from 0 to 100% deflection.
At a value of 0,0s to 0,1s the servo runs as
fast as it can, the absolute speed depends
on the type of servo. With a value larger
than that it matches the actual time in
seconds. The servo runs at constant speed
not getting slower at the end like with the
filter function for the control.
EPA End Point Adjustment
(limit servo full deflection)
The maximum deflection of a servo (or the
signal at an ESC) can be adjusted in the
servo channel menu. It prevents that e.g. a
servo reaches a mechanical stop and over-
loads.
The values for [Left/Down], [Right/Up] are
adjustable between -150% and +150%
(Exception pump: here the values are
different). The values change and limit how
far the servo moves. With a control value of
100% it always reaches the set maximum
deflection. It doesn’t exceed it even if
