CLI Servo Setup
Rotorflight Wiki is replaced by www.rotorflight.org.
If possible, do this initial setup before installing servos to the frame. This makes measuring servo arm deflection easier.
-
Use
set servo_pwm_rate
to set the update frequency for all servos. Modern digital servos typically use 200-333Hz. -
Configure initial values for each servo type: 1520us or 760us.
Servo #1 is 1520us cyclis servo:
servo 1 1520 -500 500 500 0 0
Servo #4 is 760us tail servo:
servo 4 760 -250 250 250 0 0
-
Attach servo arms
-
Check that servos are connected correctly (movement & correct ports)
Set servo #1 position to +50%:
servo override 1 500
Set servo #1 position to -50%:
servo override 1 -500
-
Adjust servo center to level the arms
Force all servos to center:
servo override 0
E.g. servo #1 arm is level at 1450us:
servo 1 1450 -500 500 500 0 0
-
OPTIONAL: Check correct scale, 100% should give 60deg deflection, or 50% should give 30deg.
Set servo #1 to 100%:
servo override 1 1000
Measure deflection - adjust multiplier if needed:
Set scale to 490:
servo 1 1450 -500 500 490 0 0
-
Install servos to the frame
-
Check correct direction - reverse if needed
Set servo position to +50%:
servo override 1 500
Reverse servo #1:
servo reverse 1
-
Check free movement range - adjust limits
Set limits to +/-400:
servo 1 1450 -400 400 -490 0 0
-
OPTIONAL: use servo trim to level the swashplate
Do this only if you don't have adjustable servo to swash linkages
Set servo #1 trim to -30:
servo trim 1 -30
-
Save new settings
NOTE! Servo limits are for avoiding mechanical issues!
DO NOT use servo limits for adjusting maximum roll/pitch/collective. Use mixer min/max for this.
