Hi..

I recently bought the eLogger V3, with a temp sensor, and the servo current expander.

The elogger itself works fine, as does the temp sensor. The servo current sensor doesn't work however.. I've set it in the software to record servo current. I've setup the power panel to display it. And checked the recorded data on the pc after testing. I don't get anything recorded. The servos / rx work properly when hooked up through the servo current sensor however.

I assume that because the servo expander needs the 'lcd' port on the elogger, you can just plug the power panel into the servo expander to use both at the same time? When I do that, the power panel doesn't work. When the power panel is plugged directly into the elogger, it works fine.

I tried a simple bench test of a servo position 'tester', separate 5cell rx pack, and one servo inline with the servo current sensor. The elogger still recorded 0 servo current.

Am I doing something wrong, or does the expander have to be returned?

Thanks.

hi titan_rw,

Sorry to hear about your issue. It sounds like something has gone wrong with the Servo Current Sensor, since the PowerPanel is not working when connected to it either (that should work).

If you purchased it direct from us, could you please email support@eagletreesystems.com for an RMA number? Otherwise, could you return it to your dealer for replacement.

Sorry again for the trouble!

Regards,

Bill, for Eagle Tree
