Progamming help with FSBus dll

[sgaert]

Ok, an ATX powersupply has enough power for both.

Stefan,

Finally got time to test various things to try to isolate what is causing the reset problem.

It is only when I have the second Servo board connected with the 10 pin cable. There is only the 2 servos for the attitude indicator running off this board at present.

When it's disconnected, I have no problems.

Before I posted, I did a couple of more tests.

I connected one of the gauges I have had running for some time without problem to the new servo board, and it worked without problem. I am thinking it may be the type of servo I'm using.

What servos do you use?

Thanks
David

i don´t know what i use, they are the cheapest i can buy.
They dont have a company or product lable.

Sorry

[RobiD]

I've used the cheapest I can find as well and I thought that might be my problem, but it appears that you have not had any problems with your's.

Hi ,
I've had the same problems, every time the servo move, the controller was reseting it's self.
I've separated the power supply for the servo's and the PCB, that solved my problems with reseting the controller.

Hope it helps.


Best regards

I am running the same power supply for the 5vdc to the com board and to the two servo boards.

Is this what you did have and now you run a seperate power supply for the servos?

Also, it's not resetting just the servo board, it's resetting the entire FSBus system so I lose all settings on my other boards. I have to restart the FSBus exe file to get everything to sync up again.

Hi David,

Yes, that's the problem.

Use a separate 5 Volt PSU to feed the servo's and your problems are solved

Hi David,
Not running Fsbus now,but from the early days it was recommended to have a seperate supply for the servos.The motors in the servos can generate some real noise pulses and can do real strange things.Its not a good practice in electronics to mix Digital supplies with ones feeding noisey devices like motors.Jan had the right answers and obviously fixed his problems.

Thanks guys.

I have high hopes this does solve my problem. I will get to it and test this out and let you all know the results.

Thank you.

This has solved my problem.

I have done a return trip from Gold Coast to Bris International without 1 reset. Before I couldn't go more than a minute or so without a reset.

Very Grateful.

David
