No, there's no jitter at all, at least not on the servos driven by the =
DSC's. I have the rate set at 200 - 250mSecs and this gives a nice even =
update speed for the needles. They always return to the same positions =
too. The RPM gauges have a bit of play in them, this is due to gears =
that have larger teeth. The others use finer toothed gears (from old =
printers) and have no play at all. I'm going to change the RPM gears to =
finer ones.
The servos driven from the Epic Gauge module via the 555 timer circuit =
(diagram uploaded a while back) tend to jitter a little. There the ones =
I'm using for the Fuel indicators. It's not too bad though - something I =
can put up with.
Rod
