      G’day
      i was wondering if someone could measure the resistance of there feedback pot on a iwaverboard while at full left and full right also a picture of which 2 legs are shorted,
      Im building a backyard flyer with Iwaver eletrics and i need the info to compleate my rudder “servo”
      Cheers

      full left: 3.5 ohm
      full right: 5.18k ohm

      i might have my left and right mixed up but i think that’s it.

      attached pic is of iw servo pots. green wire on the right terminal and the yellow wire is connected to the middle and left terminal. :8ball:

      That pic didn’t cover all of the iWaver boards I’ve seen – with the same orientation of the PCB as that diagram, the servo motor connects exactly the same, but the servo’s pot connects on the bottom edge, with the blue wire at the corner and the yellow wire just inside from it, but on the bottom edge.
      The blue wire is connected to 2 pins on the pot, yellow to the other one.

      The colour of the wires going to the POT doesn’t matter !!! as long as it’s wired the same as in the diagram !!
