Servo Motor Problem
Hello all,
I am having an issue with my FPV drone using a servo motor. I am trying to use the servo to drop a tennis ball for my dog. When I bench tested everything, it worked completely fine, but the issue came when I was about to take off. When I have the tennis ball held by the servo's Velcro strap, I get an "RXLOSS" and "BOXFAILSAFE" error like you see above. The receiver also blinks. The second I remove the tennis ball, the drone arms and flies like normal. After looking this up, it seems like the the fact that the servo now has to hold a physical object is drawing power from the rest of the circuitry. Has anyone ever run into this before and if so how have you fixed it?
Below is all the specs I could think of that mattered:
- The drone is a 7in FPV w/ a SpeedyBee F405 V4
- Wiring:
- Servo GND to FC GND
- Servo power to FC 5V
- Servo "switch" wire to FC LED
- Servo: MG90S Micro Servo
Thanks in advance for any help
