I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.
Description:
While trying to follow the instructions from the PDF, on page 36, it indicates to fix the Hitec 805. Looking at the picture, it seems to be equipped with a white disk, while out of the box, it comes with a black arm. Nowhere I see that I have to change this black arm by a white disk. The kit doesn’t contains another white disk. The first (and only) have been installed on the 755. I have one black disk from the 485 box, but I’m not sure if it fits and if it’s a good idea. Should I buy another white disk and wait to complete the installation? Should I use the black disk from the 484 box? Or did I miss something some
where?
Hitec may have slightly changed the packaging and what is installed by default on the 805BB servo. The small horns like those used on the 422 and 485 do not work, nor does the horn from the 755. Can you check to see if the large round horn was included in the 805BB box, but black instead of white? We’ll also check our stock.
Excellent. Just in case, keep in mind the servo’s output horn angle is critical during the assembly process since they can only rotate a fixed 180 degrees.
Thanks for the reminder. I think it went well. I’m able to move all servo by 180°. The grabbing one was not well aligned and therefore I was not able to close the “hand” correctly. I fixed that, and I can now have full nice movements. Is there a way to have a “360°” servo for the base? (Asking, just in case )
No and maybe. Hitec standard RC servos (the ones which are physically compatible with the plastic molded base don’t have positioning over 360 degrees. The new Lynxmotion smart servo and new base however can be driven via RC signal, are compatible with the AL5D arm, and operate over the full 360 degrees (and more):
There are three servo options: high speed, standard or high torque. For example the standard:
Oh, super interesting! I clearly see that as a nice improvement for my AL5D! Regarding the 3 servo options, what I’m looking for mostly is precision over speed and torque. Goal for now is to move puzzle pieces, which are very light. What is the best option for precision?
