Xbee interference problem

Hi

I am having problems with an Xbee900 system where the Tx is interfering with the servos, HK 12G Digital.

The interference is constant and stops if I unplug the Xbee from the APM or if I touch the Tx antenna.

This is on a small plane (X5 ) and so I would prefer an "electronic" solution rather than moving the Xbee out to the end of the wing.  i..e. a choke or orther device. any ideas that work would be appreciated. Can the servo lead be screened, if so how do I do that?

2nd question .. how long can the APM -Xbee cable be made? just in case I have to move it.

thanks

  • I am using for telemetry XRF modules (from Ciseco) which are similar with Xbee.

    To avoid interference usually I am using ferrite ring on servos wire.Same thing on FPV camera wires.

    Also I am twisting the APM telemetry cable and this help to avoid interference.

    Try to twist also your servos wires.

    Let us know about progress.
