I have SV42 pitch and roll servos. Pitch always works. Roll usually is listed in red as offline. When it does work it seems to work correctly. I have verified I have power and ground to the servo side of the DB9 plug. Tweaking, prodding, pushing ,etc. doesn't change anything.
In talking to Dynon, the feeling was a red offline indication in the configuration menu was typically a power problem, but mine doesn't seem to be power. Dynon said if it was a data problem on one of the two twisted pairs it was more likely to present as yellow with the offending pins called out. I never get that.
My next plan is to disassemble the DB9 connected to the servo to verify fully that the pins are correctly inserted and connected, just to lay the question of power to rest.
Any other experiences, knowledge or suggestions?
Again, on the rare occasions that it works it seems fine.
