When I join servo leads I use electrical wire lacing thread. This thread is strong and coated in wax which helps pull it tight to form a knot without it slipping. I run the thread around the male and female connector and then tie a knot to hold it together. This ensures the connectors can't become separated if the wires are pulled. This is a reliable lightsolution..
This lacing thread is available from a number of electrical and electronic suppliers.
If you have had experiences with servo noise please provide input and any solution that you found worked.
Recently fellow modelers have been having issues with Frsky TDR18 receivers and Hitech 645 analog servos. The servos jitter around and reduce confidence in their performance.
The control signal to the servos is a digital pulse position signal so it can be susceptible to all the common interference modes such as capacitive, inductive, EMF (Electro motive force) RFI ( Radio frequency interference ) as well as transmission line issue's like reflections and impedance mismatching.
These are all separate subjects on their own and can manifest themselves in your model aircraft insulations in many different ways.
There are definitely good practices and definitely bad practices.
Good practice.
a) Twisted servo leads like the Hitech leads are good at reducing induced noise.
b) Keep servo leads a short as possible
c) keep servo leads away from receivers with telemetry RF output.
d) Keep servo leads away from Ignition modules and power systems.
e) With,Frsky:
1) turn analogue filtering on
2) Reduce 900Mhz telemetry power
3) Reduce servo control bus speed.
This is not a bad article on Ethos and settings to reduce servo glitching for servos like HT645... This is how to reduce telemetry power and turn on analogue filtering... Very sad there are so this is not a bad article on Ethos and settings to reduce servo glitching for servos like HT645...
