Servo Glitching & Stopping?

Check this thread out - I found it very interesting. I've never had servos glitch, but if I do, I might try this.

Nathan the servo has a mind of its own whether it is stopped or moving. It seems to be doing it. What really floors me is that when I had it at St. Louis I had no problems of the sort, I just fried an esc while I was there. I will check out the idea of interference from it being surrounded by all metal. I'll also have to check into what you guys are calling "choke" wire protector as I've never heard of it.

I may just pull everything out of the tractor tomorrow evening and test it all outside of the unit and see what it is doing. If it doesn't glitch and works good I will consider it being the interference from the all metal frame surrounding the servo and wires.

It also wouldn't hurt to clean the tractor up a bit either.

I will get back with you guys on what I come up with.

Thanks again,
Tyler
