My new control board

I am having problems where the servos connect to my new board, below was the conversation I had with Tech support saying that the servo layout may be different to the old one.

I have the servo diagrams on the bottom left and right corners of board but I can't make any sense of it. If anyone has the same board and can do me a quick diagram, just which servo goes where (2 Shoulders and ledt arm seem to be in the right place as when I go to zero are correctly aligned.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Graham,

good news today! I got your MR-C3024 ( broken, has been replaced under warranty) , your charger (checked , working ok) and you battery (also ok) on my bench and the parcel is on the return path.

Please check very carful the marks on your new control board you will get back, the position of the servo connectors might be different to your old boardt, so please identify first the S1..S16 marking on the board and connect the servos to the designated servo ports.
best regards

Look at the servo diagrams, they have a line that goes to the designated pins

The photo appears to of the latest board and the pinout is according to page 42 of the manual. The engineer did say "might be different "

Your placement looks correct for the shoulders and the right arm.

Keep adding the other servos, and check they are OK in the motor control window. Strange servo positions may be caused by wrong alignment on the horns.

Sorry for changing the subject but, whats the new component fitted to the left of the power switch?

It looks like a Varistor?

I wonder if its worth fitting to older boards?

You are correct, this board is updated since mine.
The new component may be a polyfuse, maybe Sonic can give us a pic of the component ID.
Also It has a new resistor top right (R4 ?).

Are you sure it doesn't have 3 numerical digits on it?

180?
