Rising servo failures

The servo died again in the same part of the route, same direction, same distance, but cooler weather. It could be the particular vibration in that spot & speed. There were some full deflection glitches which were blamed on the paw controller getting sweaty, but hall effect sensors have such low impedance, it's unlikely for them to glitch to full deflection. There could be a case for rebuilding all the wiring.


The lion kingdom could reprogram the microcontroller on the servo. There's also 1 more brushless servo with a weird size. It would require printing a new steering section. The idea of a brushless servo with a brushed angle sensor never did appeal.

The theory has always been driving thousands of miles with automated steering has worn them out faster than usual.
