Strange Servo Twitching in Flight Mode 6

Posted by Martin Schön on March 8, 2014 at 5:19pm

Hello Guys,

I get very violent servo twitching (only on Channel 2) when the Ardupilot is in Flight Mode 6 (Manual). I understand that twitching Servos in Manual Mode can be a very common problem because of the power source/servo cables, but in my case Manual Mode itself doesn't seem to be the problem, because if I declare Flight Mode 1 to Manual for example, I don't get any twitches at all, only in Flight Mode 6.

I tried older firmware too, that didn't change anything.

Any ideas?

    Ok, what solved the problem for me was removing redundant patch cables that were going from the receiver into the ardupilot- redundant as in I don't need them now but I will need them for additional switches later- but at least there isn't any twitching anymore

      I had a similar problem, but change the servo with better quality metal teeth servo stop the problem.

      I end up taking my plane to hobby shop and try their servo one by one.
