Hi Rafael,
Seems to be normal. My servos behave the same in MANUAL, in AUTO1/2 they're
dead solid. Seems to be the PPM
Encoder, allegedly there is a new version out there with new hw/sw which solves
this.
In the mailing list i found this
statement of the creator (hendrix aka chris e);
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/paparazzi-devel/2009-09/msg00083.html
This seems to be the explanation, however
i never could be bothered to order a new one so i fly with jittering, no
relevant problems at all.
Regards,
Nicola

Hi all,
Does anybody know about this problem?

Are these periodic pulses normal?
Regards,
Rafa.
