Hi, new to this forum.
My dad has purchased a P2 and I've ended up being the tech help. What he wants to do is use the P2 to drag out a fishing line with multiple hooks beyond the surf break and drop it, then return to home point.
So he's bought a Tower Pro SG90 micro servo to actuate a hook system. The guy he bought if off wired a 3 pin lead from F2 on the Naza. I went into the P2 App and calibrated X1 and it all seems to work properly.
Next I checked the pins from the Naza and pos 5v is centre with signal and earth either side. Next is I double checked the servo pins and specs and that all looked OK.
So I plugged it together and turned on as per normal. Moving the gimbal tilt lever on the back of the controller moves the servo but here is where the problem(s?) are.
So after a bunch of searches tried various settings for the advanced-> gimbal -> gimbal config settings and that made no difference. Then spent several hours googling and reading everything. There is one other thing I've not tried and that is to use a ferrite ring but I don't think that is the issue.
Anyone else got a 3rd party servo working properly? Am I using the correct wiring etc??
Cheers Brian
edit: I'm currently suspecting that the prob is the servo itself and will try another one tomorrow (if I can find a cheap one)

- The servo is supposed to rotate 180 degrees but only gets about 90.
- It doesn't move proportionally to the lever. For a lot of the range nothing and then some jumps.
- It will often vibrate when in position.
