Clark TK 40 board killing my recoil servo

[tomhugill]

So elevation is as easy as using the tv remote to activate? Wow I did not know that. That explains the weird servo movement. I will read the clark manual for the thousandth time and see what I have to do. Can't believe I missed that. Thanks for the tip.

Yes, I think it's in the second page of settings. If you're in esc mode then it'll do some very erratic things with your servo!

Hello, I don't know if I can help?

So which button shuts off the ESC1 and activates PWM for elevation? Nice little cheat sheet.

hello, this for TK 20/22? but must be ditto on the principle of operation! Are you using the IFR led on the corresponding connector? in order to know the number of flashes according to the (Sony) button used? it is also sometimes necessary to reverse Ch2 / Ch3 to have a correct operation, I follow far? very far from being a pro? but having successfully operated a TK 24 ..

You have to go to page two of the config:

From memory, it seems to me that there is already one of the three servo outputs, which is originally programmed? and the other two are done with Sony? or I'm wrong ? Is there not a mechanical problem with the servo badly positioned, or adjusted by repirting the necessary travel, which would mean that the neutral is not where it is needed? the servo hangs under tension (hum) heats up and burns out? would be a plausible hypothesis?
according to the instructions, the controls by the sticks, are simpler in SBus than with a 4/6 channel radio? standard

Yes the recoil is always on. The other two slots have to be activated. Do I hit the 1 and then the 2? Or push 1 twice?

It will be in ESC mode already since that is the default indicated by the *. Hitting 1 will move it to PWM mode as the light on the battle system will flash twice. If it doesn't flash twice then hit 1 until it does. If it flashes more than twice...you are changing the wrong setting... You have to have a battle system installed or use the Clark "IR Programming Line" attached to the board. The remote signal is being captured by the battle system or IR Programming Line sensor and then uses the LEDs on those to show the mode it is set to. You can see from this video at time index 5:56 and example of how to program the Clark board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yam654wo2hg.

Again Thank you so much. You are a real help. I programmed this thing a year ago and forgot most of whatever I learned LOL.

NP. I have to look at the docs every time I do it.
