Reversing a servos direction

[greenman407]

Normally, when you want to reverse a servo, you go into the radio and do it in setup. What If you are hooking up two servos together on the same line but you need one to go one way and the other one to operate in the other direction? You could put the servo arm on the other side or flip the servo over facing a different direction. Is there a way to do it electrically by switching the wires or something?

There is, but it's tough to do with most servos now days. If you flip both the motor leads, and the outer two leads on the feedback pot the servo will operate in the opposite direction. (The trouble is so many servos now solder the motor leads right on to the controller board. You can still flip it around, but it's more difficult to do.)

Thanks Kevin, thats pretty much what I figured.
