I know there has been issues with using the 360 deg servos with the iOTiny but I now have burned out 2 HDD servos using the iOTiny... Both were not under any load whatsoever just holding a position... Magic smoke both times.. Both only lasted 5 minutes with the iOTiny.... Should I try a third? FYI battery being used is a 7.2V Tenergy NiMH...
Anyone else using HDD servos with the ioTiny without issues? And is this just incredibly bad luck on my part?
Guys this is not a big deal... Just feedback for reference.... I have used many hdd servos without any issues... I just found it odd that 2 burned up back to back when i was using them with the ioTiny...
That sounds about right. The hdd’s underwent a few slight changes between batches at the beginning. There’s a slight chance those first batch versions had a worn motor/gear and popped the fet - rather than shutting down.
@RR, I haven’t had the same issue with the HDD with a IoTiny, BUT did experience one of 12 HDD’s that jittered a while back, which I believe was an issue with a batch from the early ones!
