Sumo Servo problem

JamesH

Hi Guys,
New to the forum and new to the Sumo kit. Long time Parallax user of the BS1 and BS2.

Just picked up a Sumo kit and was trying to align the motors.
It looks like the servos don't have the ability to be centered.
I went thru the screw hole with a jewelers screwdriver and can't find any slot.
I've been in RC for many years and have centered servos in the past.

Have they gone to the cheaper servos that don't have this ability?
I really don't want to have to go thru all the code and adjust for center.

Any help??

Thanks

Take a light and look through the hole. Mine don't have a slot but four depressions across from each other in a cross. You may be using too small a driver. The hole was drilled for this adjustment and if it's there it should be adjustable.

James,

Stephen is correct...The adjustment should be there. We use the same servos as those used in the BOE-Bot. Take care.

Thanks!!

Found a screwdriver that fit the depressions and got them centered.

Great fun so far.
