Hi all, I'm trying to use a Futaba T6YG with FMS through one of Ken Hewitt's PIC kits. I've been in email touch with him on and off through the past couple of weeks, but we haven't yet been able to work out what is wrong here. ???
The kit has been built up with no problems, but whenever I try using the transmitter through it with FMS, I get jittery controls even after thorough calibration. I noticed another thread here which suggested using an external power supply, but the voltages involved should be strong enough (5V) for the kit to work through the serial port by itself.
Can anyone suggest anything which might help? The machine running FMS is an Athlon 1Ghz with 256MB of RAM with Windows XP. Thanks in advance!

If the pic chip is faulty it can cause this problem, If you have access to an oscilloscope, it might be worth while checking the signals on the pins of the chip.

Thanks for the suggestion, Cuban 
Ken asked me to mail back the interface so he could take a look at it, and found that it was indeed a faulty PIC chip causing the trouble. He fixed it and mailed back quickly, and am able to use it happily with FMS now - no jitters!
