The described circuit serves as a fail-safe mechanism for radio-controlled models, ensuring that in the event of a signal loss from the transmitter, the servo is positioned to a predetermined location. The core of the circuit is the CMOS IC 4093, which contains four Schmitt trigger NAND gates. Specifically, gates IC1b and IC1c are configured as an astable multivibrator, generating a continuous pulse train that drives the servo motor.

The operation of the circuit begins with the transmitter sending a signal to the receiver. Under normal conditions, this signal is processed, allowing the servo to operate as intended. However, if the signal is interrupted, the circuit activates the astable multivibrator, which produces pulses that control the servo's position. The timing and frequency of these pulses can be adjusted based on the values of the resistors and capacitors used in the circuit.

The resistor values are as follows: R1 is 47 kΩ, R2 is 220 kΩ, R3 is 27 kΩ, and R4 is 120 kΩ. The potentiometer P1, with a value of 50 kΩ, allows for fine-tuning of the servo position in case of a signal failure. Capacitors C1 and C2 are both 470 nF, C3 is 220 nF, C4 is 47 nF, and C5 is 10 µF. The diode D1, a 1N4148, is included to protect the circuit from reverse polarity or voltage spikes.

Additionally, the circuit can function as a servo tester when the transmitter is not connected. This feature allows for testing the servo's operation independently, ensuring that the servo is functioning correctly before deployment in a model. Overall, this circuit design enhances the reliability of radio-controlled systems by providing a safeguard against signal loss, making it an essential component for hobbyists and professionals alike.This is a small circuit that provides extra security for radio controlled models.
