Could I be doing something wrong?
I bought 2 and neither worked. I simply plugged my retract servos into device using top two plugs and then plugged in my female to female plug into back side and to receiver. NO POWER through device at all???
It's so simple...I don't think I could get it wrong.

You need to plug in the female to female connector to the upper right side of the regulator to make this thing work!

Hello
I have one of this servo speed regulator but it works slow only in one direction. If I feed in the landing gear it goes really slow but if I feed it out it works with the normal speed - klack and out. Not really scale... WHY??
|

You need to adjust the travel speed in both directions with the adjustment pots. The pots do not correspond with each output channel, they adjust the speed for all three channels and reverse channel 3 only. SW1 and SW2 control speed and SW3 reverses travel direction on Ch3 outuput. Just keep dialing in the #1 & #2 pots until you get the desired speed in both directions. One landing gear servo will need to go into Ch3 and be reversed, unless you have a reversed servo.

Try again, take your little screwdriver and don't forget to adjust the devoted potentiometer (look at the three "white plastic" screws, one per channel). Furthermore verify your plugging because as I remenber well there are two functions to slower the servo's and one to reverse the rotation. Please read again the instructions because I cannot do it for you now (sorry !).

What does it have to do with this product?
Anyways, it's not a "brand" thing, it's compatibility. DSM2 TX will work with DSM2 RX. HobbyKing 2.4Ghz are not DSM2 Technolgy. You can use the "Orange" receivers, it's a new brand, more like a fake of Spektrum, it does use DSM2 technology so you can use it with your DX6i and they are much cheaper than original spektrum receivers.

Can please anybody tell me what does this device actually do ???

(67%)
Two different things: One, you can reverse the rotation of the servo* it is needed when you put a "Y" to connect two servos and one gives the wrong rotation, you can even save the "Y", this device is like a "Y" with 3 branches. Two, you can regulate the speed (and direction as said) of the rotation for each of the three servos so, if you use it for retracts, they will proceed slow and elegantly. It has one input from the receiver and three outputs for 3 servos.

Hello!
if you have a retractable gear that is driven by servos on your airplane. With the help of this gadget you can regulate the speed of those servos individually by rotating the three potmeters(white dots on pic). This way making it more "real-like".

What we need is single input, 3 output with independent adjustment for speed, direction AND TRAVEL END POINTS!
For me, if I could have only one, I would independent travel end point adjustment, is more useful than slowing down the motion.
What good is scale like slow-motion when there is no way to tune all 3 wheels to have correct travel... not too loose, and not too much buzzing. Not everyone wants to buy a radio with more than 7 channels.

Can this be used to slow a single servo actuating spoiler blades when deployed using a Tx switch either on or off.
I'd prewfer the spoilers to open fairly slowly rather than bang-open & bang-shut.

Thats fine, RoadWarrior, I appreciate I'll have to make up, or buy a short male-male patch cord from the Rx out to the Y lead for the two spoiler servos in the wing.
However, as a septogenerian, my failing short sight does not enable me to discern which is the IN jack on the unit and which of the three others are the Outputs ... even with a Magnifying Glass!!!
The ... er ... manual??? - LOL - is sp**** in the extreme, a little more info would have been helpful to those of us not so electronically gifted.
I think, and only think, that looking at the pot side, or top side of the unit, the IN jack is the one on the bottom RH side, and the rest are OUTPUT?
Naturally I'll only need one channel out, and I presume it doesn't matter which I use, but don't want to cook the unit by connecting it up incorrectly!

OK ... I think I've found the answer to my earlier question ... should've looked a little closer at a discussion reply to the same question back in April from LeSquale, which confirms what I guessed earlier.
The IN jack IS the on on the RH front of the Unit.
Both of the units I bought have the print labelling on the jacks as just blobs of black ink, which are unreadable.
However the picture of the unit on the H/King website does show it quite clearly, just as Le Squale noted. Thanks for that!
Additionally, assuming the centre section of a three panel wing has the two spoilers in it, I may not need to use a Y-Lead, using the unit itself as a Y-lead. Although I think a two panel wing would still need the Y-lead for easier connection when assembling the model.
But I will still have to make up a patch lead from the Rx.
David.

Unless your retract servo is modded with a sensor switch.. it will work with and standard servo.. just adjust your travel first to low when you attach and then increase to required setting e.g 60% travel both way if it is already fitted to prevent overdriving. the pot is very small and soft and turns Anti clockwise.......!!!!!!!
