the eyes of my skulltronix stay slightly lit when it is standing by
is this normal ?
one other question the eyes also stick slightly when they turn all the
way to the left or the right will that hurt anything
thanks for the help
the eye motion should be smooth with no evidence of sticking or catching.
Some routines do leave the Eyes on at the end of the routine, from your description its hard to know if this is the case or not.
its probably best if you give Jerry a Call and discuss it with him... the sticking eye motion could be something catching on the inside, so its going to be best discuss this with him before some damage is done to the servos _________________ Bryan Davis

Do the eye lights seem to react normally during the routine, (change color at appropriate places, dim and brighten in what seem to be appropriate fashions). You may want to watch the videos on our website in the gallery to see if your skull is behaving similarly. I don't recall programming any routines where the eyes stay lit at the end of the routine, so I'm curious to see if they're behaving properly the rest of the time.
As for your eyes "sticking". Every SkullTronix skull is built by hand, so there's bound to be small differences from skull to skull. You may want to go into VSA and tweak the limits for the eye Left/Right so that they don't go quite as far.
Open up the VSA routine and, under the TOOLS menu, select SETTINGS... Find the channel that controls the Eyes Left/Right and double-click on the +VALUE setting. Move the little dial around, and watch the eyes on your skull move left and right. You want to find the spot where the eyes reach their physical limit and can go no further. Trying to push them any further may shorten the life of the servo. When you find that spot, back it off just a hair, then press the little arrow button next to the setting you're tweaking (max position or minimum position). That will store the value from the dial into that field. Do the same for the next setting, but you can leave the default where it is. Hit OK and save your routine.
If the eyes still stick after having done this, give Jerry a call.
let me clarify at the end of the routine the eys are very dimly lit
its like there in standby mode once i start the routine they are normal
its just when its standing by they are lit like that
oh before i have ran it for the first time, just after i have connected
the skull the eys are not on at all its after i have run it for the first time that i notice this
