Reversing servo (not really R/C related)

Sep 09, 2003 1 Replies

Hi, I'm currently working on a project on my car (real one not R/C), I'm trying to convert my manual slider control for my climate control to a digital one that was only available in Japan. But since Japanese cars are right hand drive the servo to control the air mix (to select hot/cold) is working the wrong way so I need to reverse it. Doing a search on google groups for a way to reverse the servo gave me almost only results from this group and other R/C related groups so I thought I'd ask here.



It's a denso servo with 5 wires to it. The pinout info I have is this:


- ground (INPUT)



- air mix hot (OUTPUT)



- air mix cold (OUTPUT)



- air mix potential -5v (OUTPUT)



- air mix potential (INPUT)



I took some pics of the open servo:

So is there a way to reverse this servo? Or will I just need to found a more creative way of mouting it?



Thanks

I tbhink you are screwed. Looks like the PCB has traclks on it to move teh servo to a given position. Unless you reverse teh motors AND make a mirror image PCB, itys not gionna fly.

Sorry
