475.0. "Servo reversing: How to.." by VARESE::SIEGMANN () Tue Feb 20 1990 06:00

    Ciao a Tutti: I have need to reverse one servo in a pair for flap
    application. I remember reading somewhere that it was easy but,
    unfortunately, thats all I remember.... If someone can reply with
    a simple description I'd much appreciate it. The servo in question
    is th3 s133 micro.

475.1reversed [inside] wires will reverse servoABACUS::RYDERperpetually the bewildered beginnerTue Feb 20 1990 07:145
    The leads from the rcvr to servo are not touched.  The leads from
    servo electronics to servo motor/pot can be reversed.  I'll see
    if I can find the details.
    
    Hmmn.  X months x Y subscriptions = ? magazines

    UNLESS SERVOS HAVE GONE INTO THE OUTER LIMITS:
    
    1.Reverse the two outside pot wires.
    2.Reverse the two motor brush wires
    3.Recenter servo at servo using whatever is designated, usually
    a tool to slip pot wiper on its driver shaft. Remote pot might me
    a gear tooth remate.

    why not just move the linkage to the other side of the servo wheel?

    New to this notes file but an avid modeller since I was knee-high
    to a sparrow.
    Simplest method of all, is to reverse the POT -ve and +ve leads
    on the TRANSMITTER! Don't touch the center lead.
    
    Of course this reverses all servos running off the reversed channel.
