iWaver Conversion problem

Post by Maxximum Attack »

Well, I'm trying to get my Xmod converted, but I ran into a little snag. I've soldered up the fets that I have here to the board. I decided to keep it 1x1 for testing before I attempt a stack.

Well when I put in the batteries the servo goes all the way to the left and sounds like it wants to go further. I've swapped the steering wires to see if it would steer full to the other direction, it doesn't. It still goes full left. When I turn the wheel on the controller I can hear it having an effect but it's not visible, the horn doesn't move.

I've attached a video of what happens, listen to the servo horn.

Oh BTW the same thing happened when the x'tal was not unstalled.

Is there a sttering trim pot on the board you may have moved with your fingers while doing the fet install?

not that I know of, I'm asuming you mean the phillips head looking thing?
I haven't moved anything. I'll post a pic later. It's an iW 02 board, if that helps.

but I swapped the pot wires and got the same result. one of the wires has a 3.3k resister on it, I thaought that would have been the problem, but when I switched the wires (expecting the horn to swing the other direction) it didn't change anything.
