lots.... and LOTS of questions about my Gorgon

It's so you can send more power to the motor. The little PCB can't handle all that power.

I understand the hv servo design. I just couldnt figure out a dual ground... because its not a dual ground!
Thanks, I got it now.

I think the connectot might be a problem. I say might.
Signal can be finicky and pick up noise etc from a chaffed signal wire... youve essentially got a large section of open wire that MAY be a problem.
Since we're chasing maybes, I'd eliminate that as a possible cause.

Just guessing. First time I saw one is on the Hammer Rey I got from MVRCA. Looked into it and saw there are a few dufferent ines out there. But that diagram is exactly how they all wire up from what I found.

Very good thinking. That may be why.

Yes! The original servo works!

It makes sense... I wasn't looking from it as a signal pov, strictly as ground.
If it was a ground, they could all come from 1 point and work fine.
Thats where the confusion came in.
I think the wiring is right... it just needs cleaning up
Trying to do this on my cell phone screen has proven to be harder that I'd hoped!

I'm man enough to admit when i'm wrong, fellas..
took a min. but i got it soldered. didnt look too bad either.

ok.. gonna try to get this all back together

Not wrong, just learning like we all are still.
Looking better for sure! Nice job!

ok! we're in business!! but why is it automatically steering to the right when i turn it on?
this is what you guys meant by calibration, right?
is there a link yall could show me maybe... reading the instructions from online was getting on my nerves. lol
thanks again for yall help, wickedfog, certifiedmike... you guys are awesome...
i'll be crediiting you both when i win rig of the month with this thing. ha!!

The link thats posted is a sales page. Any link to an actual manual or anything?
I need to wrap my head around this before we move forward
4 wires to servo.
Positive to servo, connects to pos battery
Neg to servo, con to neg battery
Signal goes uncut to servo
Ground from reciever, uncut to servo. ( no clue what this could be for... AT ALL. )

Excepting my lack of understanding, is this what you've got currently?

I have one just like it, thats how you wire it.
Any direct power servo takes a positive and negative from the battery, because it has to make a complete circuit. The signal goes to the signal port on the rx, an additional negative goes to the rx from the servo, these leads should be built in to the nsdrc servo already there is no splicing needed unless that is, someone cannibalized it

 

[CertifiedMike]

Take the servo horn off and let the servo center itself. Then reattach.
Yes, calibration is after binding. AWESOME JOB!!!!
YOU did all the work!
CONGRATS!!!

Sometimes mine gives a good right hand turn on start up, but it returns to center. I started plugging mine in after I turn on the car, if at all possible. Sometimes it does that, sometimes it doesn’t, your putting straight battery voltage to it, not some wimpy 6, 7, or 8.4 volts!

The first time I heard about a direct power servo I was like
I direct power all my crawlers and recommend it in most applications

So since you have this set up, any ideas for a good video link for calibrating this Flysky system?
My phone is in full-on protest mode!!!

 

[JustnWynn]

its alive.....ITS alive....
ITSSSS ALLLIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Taking it off letting it center then reattaching worked.... holy hell!!!!'
what a day you guys!!! drinks or smoke on me
yall are the best
can't say it enough
cheers, boys

I don't have that transmitter or receiver, just the servo he is using.

Smoking has been on me all day! I thought I mentioned that earlier!

HAPPY DAYS!!!!

Good work, you will now yearn for more knowledge

Oh! @JustnWynn , do not leave that servo plugged in while not in use. It will suck that battery dry, like an ex-wife.

 

[JustnWynn]

Hahahahahaha.... awesome. Already unplugged, sir
