Hi,
This is really an extension of the last question but i'll enter
it under a different topic:
Has anyone used futaba servos (s-133) with airtronic receivers?
I believe the posotive, and negative wires are reversed, and the
signal is the same. I was wondering if anyone has swapped the
pins in a futaba connector; as it appears that they can be removed by
lifting the small plastic tabs on the connector.
This would be ideal rather than creating an adapter cable.
Finally, does anyone know of any converter cables for this, or is
it necessary to make them yourself.
thanks,
mike

Mike, We use a similar type of connector to hook machines together here. I've "re-jigged" some connectors in the past by lifting the plastic tab, and re-inserting the connector in a different slot. Be warned! it don't always work! Quite frequently the little tab gets stretched by the lifting process, and personally I wouldn't trust them again in a "safety critical" environment (150 metres, 80mph, heavy model = safety critical!) Sorry this was a bit late, and I hope you didn't find this out the hard way! Cheers Nigel | |||||
