The ServoSense Plus is an inflight current logger for your radio gear. You can
use it to help diagnose servo or BEC problems in your system. It can also help
you determine what kind of switching BEC you need for your system, or if you
need one at all.
ServoSense Plus is designed to be driven from a
receiver battery or a BEC and measures the following:
Max current that
occurs during flight (Up to 5A)
Max average current during any 15 second
interval (Up to 5A)
Average current over whole flight (Up to 5A)
Max
current will tell you if you're risking a BEC shutdown due to
overcurrent.
Max over 15 seconds will tell you if your BEC is likely to
overheat and shut down.
Average current will tell you how much of the
capacity of the battery powering the receiver is being used.
The
ServoSense Plus installs inline between your receiver and ESC. It displays the
recorded information by blinking LEDs, then you can refer to the chart to go
from number of blinks to number of amps.
The red LED blinks out the
maximum current recorded during the flight in .1A increments. That is, 12
flashes means a max current of 1.2A.
The green LED blinks out the
average current in .05A increments. 5 flashes would mean the average current
drawn during the flight was .25A
The Max15 reading is displayed by both
lights blinking simultaneously. It displays in .05A increments. For example, if
they both flash 12 times, then 0.6A was drawn for 15 seconds, which means you
should look into upgrading to a switching BEC if you run 3s or higher packs.
ServoSense Plus will work with receiver packs from 3.5V to 15V, as well
as 5V or 6V BECs.
