RC receiver resets - what to do
RC receiver resets - what to do
Information for users of 2.4 GHz receivers
The modern 2.4 GHz RC receivers in use now are complex electronics with processors that are very sensitive to voltage drops. Even momentary (0.1s) voltage drops below the receiver's operating threshold will cause the receiver to reset, which is often associated with several seconds of lack of control over the model. And you know what this can mean for us and our model.
In addition, many models use digital servos whose current consumption can reach very high values in a pulse. Therefore, there may be situations in the model in which a group of servos in a very short time can draw enough current from the BECa circuit that there will be a very short voltage drop on the power supply to the load.
What could be the cause of voltage drops on the receiver:
- Power system with high intrinsic resistance (low efficiency), it can be a battery as well as a BECa system
- A large number of servos with high instantaneous current consumption (especially digital servos)
- Poor quality connections and plugs
- Thin connection wires - between the power supply and the consumer
- Connection carried out incorrectly
How to prevent such situations:
- Low ohm power source - efficient
- Power supply for high current servos from a separate battery
- Short and thick connections from the power supply to the receiver
- Use of capacitors on the receiver
- Use of ferrite filters on servo lines
