500 mg90s settings

[bassslayer1960]

Good day to all,
Today I am looking for the center position pulse length and freq. of these servos.
I cant find any info except on " servodatabase ".
They unfortunately omit this info.
Also, is there a US distributor for them?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks again, Robert

I'm no expert on this but all standard servos are centre pulse length 1520us. For frequency 200Hz should be fine, lower values are also safe, to high can cause problems.

MG90S servos are lower end. 200hz may be pushing it a bit on there. Just feel them after a while of flying and if they are getting hot, lower the HZ down to about 100 or so.

If I recall correctly the Vbar sets all analogue servos to 50Hz and all digitals to 133Hz. This tends to indicate that all digital will work at 133Hz. Mikado apparently did lots of testing and conclude that there was no advantage in higher refresh rates... so probably best do as Neil and Tony suggest and err on the lower side.

Thanks to all that replied.
Everyone seems to have the same conclusion.
Until next time,
Robert
