Servos react somehow "notchy" at high frame rate. Is MICROBEAST damaging my servos?

If the servos are approved by the manufacturer to this driving frequency, this is a normal effect. The servos get new positioning signals four times faster than if they are connected to a conventional remote control receiver. Especially servos with brushless motors run very hard and direct and it comes in 200Hz mode to these slightly jerky movements that are totally harmless and you will not notice in flight operation.

From firmware version V2 on a special software filter was installed which mitigates this somewhat rough servo drive.
