I have a quick question about the capacitors for the servo board.In the pdf, it says C3 and C4 are 22pf caps (not polarised) In the parts list, it doesn't even mention C1 and C2.From looking at the schematic, C1 and C2 are 22pf, C3 is 10u (polarised) and what is C4 (which is not in the schematic)?ThanksDavid

That pdf is still beta (I think).I build that pcb and it works with me. I use the values as in the schematic. C4 is not in schematic but it is on the pcb , it is over line 2 and 3 on J4-J11.C1/2 are 22 pf, c3/4 10nfsee attachmentregardsNorberthttp://home.wanadoo.nl/norbert.bosch

Once again, thank you Norbert.You are always reliable for the correct answer.RegardsDavid

Hey Norbert,I have been trying to register and login in to Flightdeckbuilder.nl to have a look at your SDK examples and have not been able to log in. It keeps rejecting my password. I did the lost password thing and tried again but it still won't let me in.I get this message and the login box again: Login fout! Probeer opnieuw...I don't understand Dutch but I have used babelfish to translate.I have sent an email to the webmaster. Do you have any suggestions.Do you have your SDK examples up anywhere else.Thanks again.David

The webmaster will help you I am sure.I have all the code here: and translated the few Dutch lines in it.Perhaps it can be of any help for al the English talking FSBUS users.I can confirm that all this code works with me.Some parts have already a CID and RID, change that to your setting offcourse.Another advice, start with one thing at a time, get it working and add the second one.Put all the F objects in one file together (will be the same for every builder), put C A R objects in separate files ( all centre pedestals things in one file, everything in the OVH in one file etc).

Oh, just have another quick question.In the manual for the FSBus Servo, Dirk gives examples of the different coloured wires for different brands of servos.Is there a simple way to test using a multi-meter?ThanksDavid
