Servo end travel?

[Mark P.]

Hope this hasn't been already discussed, I didn't see any info in the search function. Can the end points of travel on the servo be set digitally? For example, I need 1 inch total travel (half inch each side), but I also need to put the pushrod on the outer most hole on the servo arm which gives me a max travel of 2.6". That's obviously more travel then I need. Can I adjust the servo maybe through the HDX to set the total travel to only one inch?

The calibration procedure for the servo will set the actually used travel for any servo. Note that if you use the outer most hole that the available force is much lower

It doesn't quite work that way. The calibration only truly sets the direction of travel, and confirms that there isn't "too much" travel for arm servos (because that would imply an over-center condition is possible). When in flight, the hard limit is your control stops, just like when you fly. And if you choose to install it, the bracket limiter as a backup. The autopilot flies like you do, moving "a little bit left/right/up/down", but doesn't formally have limits.
