The reason why S2 wasn't outputting is that the the Input signal for it was set to something other than S1 (the first servo). It could have been set to S5 (the servo signal (PWM, PPM, SBUS) input on the right hand side), P1, Key, or Internal. Just rotate the knob to that channel, then change it like you demonstrated. (I'm sure you know this by now, but for anyone wondering in the future...) Each channel has its own assignable input, so you can gang them all together or have three of them cycling while you control that channel with your radio. This little box is fantastically powerful! Thank you for a great review and demonstration!
Very nice Roeland. Back years ago i bought one from HK and it was a piece of crap. This one is much better and thanks for the demo. Have a good weekend my friend!
Thanks man and yeah.. I have a few Very basic ones from HK as well ;) (I wonder how long that company will stay above water).. But yes.. this one does A LOT more :) Cheers man! Have a great weekend yourself :)
Another great review!!! Thanks so much!!!! Also thanks for the giveaway!!! This would help me so much!!! I have so much to Learn and i look forward to learning everything about fpv and drones Great Channel
Hi Ducht ,I have an ST8 but I think the amperage measurement is wrong, I am testing two new CORONA servos and it gives me a consumption of 1500mA and the manufacturer says that the consumption is 300/400mA, they are standard servos.
what a pitty you cannot test low voltage servos with this tester. Such as we use in Orlandoos, HK-5330. HK-5320, and more, micro planes and helis... I hope ToolKitRC will release an update to make this possible. I use a lot of micro LV servos (and build a lot of micro models).
I have a question. I plan on using something like this as a signaler for my ESC. It is a high power 200amp ESC running a 120mm fan, around 125 amp draw steady. Would this work for something like that? Is there any output requirement based on the ESC, or will any old signal work for any esc?
Howdy :) that should be possible yes.. basically the input-signal for any ESC is the same (analogue PWM signal) and it's the same as servo-signal input..
Nice review but S1 and S2 were showing different readings with identical servos, and S4 showed around 30 mA despite having no servo attached?! How about taking one servo and trying it in each port in turn to confirm that they all report the same current? Also ... is there a quick function to centre the servos? This is a very useful feature on conventional testers, when setting up linkages.
Thank you :) yes, I kinda intentionally made the first 2 servo's perform a bit different by having one of them lift itself up a bit with it's servo-arm.. not a huge load offcourse, but you can indeed see the difference.. I do indeed wonder what that 30 mA is on the servo-less port.. Ans yes.. basically you set the output to 1500 mu.. that is also the value the tester starts at.
@@btbplanevids :) I had some "bla bla" about that in mind to demonstrate how the tester showed that difference.. but ohwwwww well! The video was long enough as it is :D
The video is not really detailed regarding the functionality. There is much more what this thing might be able to to, which is not mentioned in the video. But unfortunately, it seems to me, that there are a lot of bugs in the software! I used the latest firmware 1.13, and I still do not trust this thing. E.g. , I could not see the current as long as I am not setting the P1 input. I could not see the real impulse, when changing the range (the displayed impulse is never changing values from 1000 - 2000 µs. although the output does!). For me, this thing is still in a kind of development phase ant needs to be depuged and updated!
One can never (short of making a video that's far to long) cover every detail (OR it's a thing I haven't mastered yet :D could be).. I guess the video is what I thought to be the most important parts but thanks for the feedback! Regretably the Chinese businessmodel is: release the product as beta, and if there is enough interest they then Maybe improve it.. Mine seems to still be quite good.. Did I get a cherry-picked one? I don't know...

What is the model of that servo motor in 3:32?
@@g4nd4lf88 I think it's a KST X50 servo..

Thank You for the good addition sir! Will surely help others :)
Thanks....I was wondering !
This little device looks really great, I did not know. Very good explanations . Great video !!
Thanks brother and Yes! For once actually a device that Would be usefull for you as well ;)
@@DutchRC Yes, it's true 😊👍

Really interesting tool, dude! Fantastic! 😮
Just added to my wishlist!!! (That is getting to almost 1000 items. 😬)
Great review! 😊
Thanks bruh! :) Again a good amount of gadget factor with this one huh? ;)
@@DutchRC Absolutely!
those 2 Hitec servos cost more then a nice FPV quad ;)
excellent review as well! that does look very usefull
LOL :) that would be true yes :P
Thanks man & agreed.. glad to have it :)
Fantastic review and what a brilliant product
Thank you very much John :) Agreed.. much more usefull then I had expected really
Another great review!!! Thanks so much!!!! Also thanks for the giveaway!!! This would help me so much!!! I have so much to Learn and i look forward to learning everything about fpv and drones

Thank you very much as always sir! Giveaway coming up shortly :)
always good to be learning new things or what?! :)

I can't say I'm really surpriced it isn't correct, but this seems like a rather BIG difference. I would not have equipment to check though.. do you?

@@DutchRC did you figure out why S2 wouldnt work in continuous mode?
Nice job Flyingdutchman
Thank you very much! I appreciate that :)
Does it center servos?
well yes.. You can simply set the dial to 1500 mu but the servo-tester will also start up at that value :)
you missed to show the SBUS mode
I'ts been a while but I think at the time that didn't work (well) with the firmware I had on it..
That... or I just forgot about it ;)
Great review, thanks :-)
Thank you very much sir :) Appreciated

all 4 outputs should work in auto test...your S2 must be not working ...broken unit
OMG.....
plzzz make me winner of this giveaway plzz I never won any giveaway
