2) In manual mode, moving all servos to their extremes

reset. I am using a charged 3S pack and the voltage reported in
the GCS looks really good (12.3), but obviously there must be some
dip or spike that's affecting the processor enough to reset it.
What are your suggestions?
My group has run into that also. As a temporary work-around, we power
the receiver and servos from a separate battery (not connected to
Tiny2.11). Be careful to disconnect the power line between the
Tiny2.11 and receiver -- if not you will *damage* the Tiny2.11, at
least the voltage regulator.
For us, the problem was even worse than reseting the Tiny2.11, it put
the Tiny2.11 in a strange mode where the servos would twitch
periodically and not respond to Manual RC commands.
Does anyone know of a nice way to determine the total power drawn by
all the servos actuating a full strength simultaneously? I guess
there should also be a calculation to compute a rough upper bound on this.
