Turnigy Servo Signal Reverser

 Karl 201 points

No this is not necessary with the 9x as it is programmable. I would still pick one up as they are helpful in situations where a y-harness is envolved. Plus you can help another pilot if their transmitter is not programmable and they need to reverse a channel. Hope this helps and happy flying.

It depends also if you use only one channel for two servos. If you use two channels (one for each servo) you should first have a look if your transmitter is abel to handle it. If you use only one channel for two servos, it depends also from the direction the servos works. In this case, if both have the same direction, the easyest way is using a reverser.

Do you have a servo tester? If so, then you can check the reverters separately using the servo tester and a servo. If you only connect a single servo to the RX with a reverter in between, does that work? Are you sure that the voltage to RX/servos is OK (i.e. is your BEC strong enough for your connected equipment)? HTH

I dont have a servo reverser but when i just plug in the servo to my Rx it works perfectly, when i plug it in with the reverser in between it starts pulsing so i dont know what to do

 LasseK 564 points

Some silly questions (would be sillier not to ask :-) You are 100 percent sure that you have connected the reverser correctly? Because if you have a mix of white/red/black cables and yellow/red/brown, you can actually make a mistake (black and brown should connect together). This is why a servo tester is a good thing to have, because you can run one item at the time in a controlled fashion. I use this one, just for reference: T-ST_01. I assume you use 1520 us servos? I have never used 760us so don't know if this reverser works with those. Maybe it's a stretch, but if you can get hold of an oscilloscope, you can check the pulse with that (can be most revealing in times of trouble). HTH

Just place an order for it....when it's back in stock they will ship it out. Plus, if you order it....it will give HK an idea of how many people need them....more people that want them the quicker the resupply will be. Cheers :)

 Ben 1 points

Yeah I ordered like a month ago...

 Prinju 14 points

i placed my order on the 31/3/13....order was shipped on the 17/4/13. Is there any other items on your order in a back order status? If so,this will hold the whole order. Cheers

Hi Randal, You'll need to place the order yourself, you can't place an order by asking in the discussion groups. For the products you're seeking, I can give you the product IDs, you just need to copy each one, paste it into the search box at the top of the page, and you'll be shown a link to that item. Add the desired items to your order, then provide address, type of shipping desired and payment info when requested, and your order will be on its way. The items you were looking for have product IDs AM-3003-15, 015000007, and SIG-REV respectively. I hope this helps. Incidentally, it's considered appropriate for you to give credit for the best answer to your question by clicking the "thumbs up" alongside the answer.

 Heppy Ket 381 points

Thanks for the tip. A good idea if I want to "permanently" reverse a servo.

 sidd232 646 points

to risky for my plane, i rather pay this ridiculous $3 bucks for a reliable servo reverser.

 Crawdad 165 points

This works, but it forces you to modify any replacement servo. If the price of a reverser was a real problem for me, I'd consider modifying the servo. For me, I'd rather not end up relying on non-standard servos - I value being able to swap out a failed servo without worries.

 sidd232 646 points

to reverse the signal of an esc you have to do it manually through your radio, esc's work the same direction even connected in pairs to a "y" connector, now to reverse the spin of motor simply switch two of the 3 wires from esc to motor.

 MustBeMattyXD 1 points

i know about reversing the motor and such but i have a heli and cannot reverse the swash plate pitch mix, i need it to go down instead of up but my controller does not support reversing it, i can reverse the throttle to make the swash move the corrrect way but then the blades move when in the off position so here is why i am wondering if this can reverse the signal to an esc

 eddfoo 356 points

Your connections for the blade pitch may be wrong. If your connection from the blade holder to the swash plate is on the leading edge of the blade, when the swash plate moves up the pitch increases. If you want the pitch to be negative when the swash moves up than you would want a blade trailing edge connection. Check and see if this is your problem.

 MustBeMattyXD 1 points

I thought this aswell but I have checked the manual for it but its exactly how it's meant to be, used to have an esky radio gear and worked grey but the gear packed in, this is the only way I can think of doing it

 sidd232 646 points

OHHH, no, no, no, no for a helicopter this is what you have to do, if your swashplate moves to the opposite direction you have to play with the SWASH AFR programing in your radio, just try changing the values of pitch, aileron or elevator from positive numbers (usually 60%) to negative, give it a try, this is a common problem in helis and takes a while to get it done but it works. cheers.

 Haydz 117 points

Upul. Plug it into any channel to reverse servo direction. Commonly used for "Flaps" on a "y" lead. Have the "y" into RX then the reverser in on side with a servo and just a servo on the other. Hope this helps. Hayden.

 chopper50 259 points

Hi, i have two servos one each side of fusalage for elevator,problem is one servo needs reversing, so easy option is get one of these they are light and work great.

 LasseK 564 points

This unit reverses the signal to the servo so that it moves in the opposite direction. So if the servo rotates e.g. clockwise without this reverser, it will rotate counter-clockwise when this reverser is connected between the servo and the receiver (for the same stick movement performed on the TX).

 chech 5 points

additional details: first servo reversed 180º* and melted in less than 2sec. but it had worked normally without the reverser.

 0x0539 27 points

It's impossible for more than 5V to go to the servo coming from the RX.. so it was either bad luck or the servo didn't like the reverser refresh rate. :-)

 Ek-trician 307 points

Yea, so what's your question?

 Haydz 117 points

Ek-trician. That was just a statement to give people a idea on how this works. Hayden.

 LasseK 564 points

Reversa cualquier canal. Solamente que el pulso centrado este en 1520 o 760 us y va de viaje. En general tal vez no es una buena idea reversar el reglaje de motor, ten cuidado que no haya situacion donde el motor da todo!

 mauemmel 14 points

deve funcionar. mas é* mais interessante alterar isso na programaç*ã*o do seu radio. Se o motor estiver rodando ao contrario é* só* inverter 2 dos 3 fios que saem do esc para o motor.

 LUIZ FERNANDO 2 points

Eu digo que um REVERSE na Helice me da uma frenagem no modelo, será* que acho algo parecido aqui?

 mauemmel 14 points

Para isso nã*o vai funcionar, pois o motor funciona em uma direç*ã*o só*. Acho desnecessá*rio fazer esse tipo de freio (pelo menos para modelos leves), o proprio atrito das rodas como chã*o ja seguram bem. Ou você* poderia pensar em adicionar um freio nas rodas do aero ou talvez se utilizar um esc de carro você* consiga reverter a helice.

 Sergio 155 points

Pessoal... as informaç*õ*es do produto sã*o clara: faz reversã*o de SERVO!Para reverter motor basta inverter dois plugs do esc. Este produto inverte movimento do servo somente!!!

 LasseK 564 points

No, that won't work. The Orange stabilizer only has one aileron channel input (same with the Orange V2 stabilizer), but you need two aileron inputs on the stabilizer (and software changes) to get flaperon functionality. This means you have to choose between either flaperons or stabilization! This is one of the reasons why I bought a Bixler 2, because it has both ailerons AND separate flaps so now I can get both stabilization and proper working flaps. You could use TWO stabilizers, where one of them would handle only the second aileron channel (I think you still need to connect all three inputs to the second stabilizer, not sure). Or you can wish HK to make an Orange stabilizer with flaperon support! Several people (including myself) have requested this, but so far no results. HTH

 Hurley 194 points

Yes. That is that they are for.

 CrashAce 797 points

SCAMMER!

 Hurley 194 points

yes you can . I have do it. these work great.

 Strormysrider 32 points

Ah yes that is correct. However most radio's these days have multi model memories that can save all the settings for different models. I do remember doing something similar to what you are saying back in the late 80's. I even had a little book i used to write the trim set up in so I knew how many clicks and in what direction. Thankfully these days my computer radio can store more planes than I own i just need to tell it which one it is going to control and it remembers how it was last time I flew it.

 LasseK 564 points

Signal-wise, yes. Power-wise it depends on the specs of the servos. If you have high-power servos, long wires and perhaps a small RX with not so good power routing, then you might get issues with servo power. But if we are talking HXT900 or similar small size servo, then it should work fine. Hope this was understandable, cheers!

 jhova1717 161 points

The length of the cable is 415 mm the reverser itself is really small and it weighs nothing

 eddfoo 356 points

yes, it will work with HXT900.

 BrianB192 1293 points

yes thats very correct , and i use them to reverse Pan tilt On FPV setups as the Goggles are hard to set *this is easy ,

 Strormysrider 32 points

Agree with the above. i have used these on 36Mhz and 2.4 GHZ stuff (all Hitec) on standard sized servo's and they have never let me down!!

 BrianB192 1293 points

yes mate , have a good fly , reversed to the way you want when some dont have reverse switch either , this fixes it always keep a few handy /

 NHPILOT 103 points

I am currently running two of these with an AR8000 on a EDF jet and have not had any problems.

 Michal 3 points

I dont have any problems too.

 Massimiliano 25 points

Any problem!

 Ross 3 points

i use it on my cessna 182 for flaps, so single channel can control both flaps. works without a hitch, no interference.

 KaosKane 1429 points

the two i have cause jitters in my ele's unless fully up or down i tries 2 different esc's, 4 different servos and two diffetent TX's I will not buy again

 BrianB192 1293 points

could you tell me what the type servo,s you useing . as i found that problen in many but not was it due to the reverser,s Voltage and Or current examine , And can need a few nagetic beads around it ,near the wires ,Like The ESC do have on some.the round little thing the weires go arond the Lifesaver shaped magmetic thing ,

 aJS32 281 points

Yes, it does.

 NHPILOT 103 points

Yes, I have used it on both digital and analog.

 Timewarp 4 points

yep good quality and cheap.... great products work on both analog and digital servos.

 BrianB192 1293 points

digital is the other parts tx but they are all the same volt and ability's . use the reverser as well no problem.

 BrianB192 1293 points

a Must have .item . Cheears

 Superelectric 256 points

yo lo tengo en los elevadores de 3 de mis aviones y no e tenido ningun problema...la fuerza te la da tu propio servo..el reversador solo reversa la corriente ..por un par de dolares puedes probar en tierra, recuerda que solo trabaja hasta 12.6V..o puedes destapar el servo y revertir la polaridad ..no lo e hecho pero se que esta en un foro..te recomiendo intentes con este aparatito.

 Tonio89 7 points

me referí*a a sí* son fiables como para usarlos en una avió*n tan grande ya que serí*a para ponerlo en uno de los dos servos de profundidad de un 50 cc y no se si hará*n cosas raras cuando menos te lo esperas jeje

 Marcelo Sebastian 6 points

funciona perfecto, es una buena opcion para los que tengan que usar mas de un servos en elevador y la radio no les permita usar un canal axiliar

 Kellyann 16225 points

Chris I am wondering where you are using the reverser but that is up to you. For your question Yes it will work. Plug the end of the servo cable, that you would normal plug into the RX, into the Reverser. I hope this helps.

 Luky95 1 points

Yes it works the reverser works with all servos i have got the same

 Ross 3 points

i use a y adaptor and then signal reverser on the flaps of my cessna. that way i can use 5 channel rx instead of 6ch. i have spare 5ch tx/rx so don't need to swap out my 6ch tx anymore from helo to plane

 *Murdock* 34 points

yes exactly

 rtenea 131 points

YES, that is correct, if you push right, your rudder is turning left with this device, but you can use REVERSE option (from your Tx menu) to fix such a problem. Usually this device is to be used for FLAPS when a Y-cable is attached to the both servos and for one of them the signal should be reversed.

 BossJay 159 points

This servo reverser is very useful if you are using 2 servos in 0ne Channel and if you install one servo in the mounting hole and causes the servo arm to move the opposite way, then you will need a servo reverser. I'm using this on the elevator of my F22 Raptor.Because there is no way i can mount the other servo to move the same way. 1servo on the left elevator and 1 servo on the right elevator.

 Misfit mma 119 points

If you have the HK T6A trans like I do and you planes with different elevator orientations and you dont want to keep on connecting your trans to your computer then installing this saves time and effort.

 Luky95 1 points

yes exactly for example you can use it if you will put 2 airbrake servos to on reciever chanel you must use this reverser

 opjose 228 points

Does anyone know what the amount of introduced delay is?

For those who don't understand: Reversers like this have to read in the input signal, then generate a new reversed output signal. This introduces a small delay.

The delay is most noticible on large control surfaces when you have everything adjusted for maximum travel. You'll be hard pressed to notice any form of delay on flaps or most ailerons but I've seen it on large elevators... one moves up or down just slightly before the other.

 Allison 1356 points

Bacter I can think of two reasons. 1 you reverse switch is faulty on you Transmitter 2 When you are using Ailerons and a Y piece. I hope this helps.

 hwagener 243 points

Just think of a plane with flaps for landing and your receiver only has 6 channels. Its very expensive to buy a 8-channel-receiver, so its cheaper to use a servo-reverser and use a 6-channel-type.

 AnjaZoe 5 points

There are some old (con-computer) transmitters out there where you do the servo reverse by opening the transmitter and reversing the cable coming from the stick. Quite unhandy if you have more than model and there this neat little device comes in quite handy.

 Luky95 1 points

Because i must put 2 servos on one chanel because my tx supports just 6 servos and i need 7 *)
