Servo Trim - pendulum rudder
#3
Hi Sean,
thank you for your answer.

I have already tried to reduce servo.speed.min/max. Unfortunately the torque is not enough then. There I will
probably have to use a gear with a higher reduction.

The pure steering time for such a configuration is very short (from hard starboard to hard port) but there are
there is a slight delay in the reaction time.

I could imagine that it helps to give a short control impulse, and then wait a moment to see the reaction of
the boat. Is there a setting with which such a delay could be achieved?

That the steering behaviour will not be like with direct rudder control, I think so too. But I could imagine,
that it should work better than with the wind vane.

Besides the low power consumption, the much lower noise emission of such a system would also have to be considered.
