If you do not know what the maximum pulse rate tolerated by your servos is, please select not more
than 50Hz driving frequency. A higher driving frequency can lead to failure of the servos!
Analog Servos usually tolerate only 50Hz, some types up to 65Hz. Digital servos allow usually higher fre-
quencies, but this has to be veried in the servo datasheet. You may need to check with the manufacturer
of the servos.
On WWW.BEASTX.COM you can nd a list of parameters for the most common servos.
To optimize the performance of the MICROBEAST, the rule is the higher the better! Nevertheless if you
experience an unusually high power consumption of the receiver power supply or if the servos get hot,
you should reduce this frequency.
With high frequencies, some servos run in a jerky manner, especially the fast ones like coreless or
brushless servos. This is due to the high update rate that the servo receives. This is not critical and will
not impact ight performance.

If you are using the MICROBEAST as stand-alone tail gyro with the optional patch cable (see section 4.2.2) it
is not necessary to make any adjustments at this setup menu point.
Setup menu point B is for selecting the servo frequency of your swashplate servos.
