Big News from Advanced Radio! For any of us that have multiple servos on the same surface we spend considerable amount of time matching our servos, well it appears with this tool that's all over and done for you! Not only that but by matching your servos with this tool you could potentially extend the life of those servos by hundreds of flights! Talk about a tool that pays for itself over and over again and we like that!!!

From Advanced Radio:

Welcome to the worlds first Automatic Intelligent Servo Matching System (ISMS) from Advanced Radio.
Intellimatch is the result of 2 years of research and development, it is designed to take the worry out of servo matching and gives you the maximum power, smoothest response and increased life from your servos.


If you have built giant scale models before with multi servo control surfaces then I am sure you will be familiar with the process of manually matching the servos. You generally match servos on 2 end points and maybe a center point. Thats a total of only 3 matching points. There is no way 3 points will accurately match your servos. Also you have to adjust each servo until minimal buzz is heard or you might use an ammeter to minimise current draw. Throw that idea away...


With Intellimatch you say goodbye to traditional methods of servo matching. The Intellimatch system automatically matches servos on 100 points through the servo sweep range. That is 100 points not just the traditioal 2 or 3. Intellimatch further adds smoother operation by reading the closest 2 points from the servos current position and then interpolates between the 2 selected points to a resolution of 8192 steps. 8192 step resolution is the highest resolution available today. Another first for Booma RC and Advanced Radio!


The IM14 Intellimatch unit is designed to match 2 sets of 2 servos. Each pair of servos will run independently of each other. An example of IM14 usage might be 2 elevator or 2 ailerons servos or ailerons and flaps. IM14 is designed for each control surface using 2 servos Mechanically ganged.


Here are the specifications.

What's really cool is it calibrates the servos so they are always matched throughout the travel.

Yes I agree that is very cool. I will revisit this when I get a plane big enough to need it.
