For all you guys who have bought or modified a continuous 360 servo, how does it work? I want to be able to have a very controllable motor that I can tell to make specific number of turns and stop. Would that be a way the continuous servo could work? I mean, for other servos, …

If you would rather just BUY If you would rather just BUY a modded servo, this would be one place. http://www.hobbyengineering.com/H1429.html

I see… Well, it still I see… Well, it still sounds like the interface makes it easy to control. @ people who use continuous servos: do you find them pretty consistent in rotation speed vs. settings? What I’m thinking is having one on each side of my robot for some solid cont…

From my exp with the From my exp with the Parallax boebot which uses 2 CR servos for it’s motor drive, they were pretty consitent. The documentation(free to download btw) tells you how to fine tune them if they are out of sync. One thing to note, these are great for flat surface …

No Two modded servo motors would be no similar in speed than any two other “identical” motors. Unless you have closed loop control (AKA feedback, AKA PID) there is absolutely no way you can have any two motors run at the same speed. There will be slight differences in coil lengt…

I use servos for drive and they are AWESOME!!! My little erector-set robot (with the green wheels) uses servos for drive. They came with the “Vex” kit but they are nothing more than a std. continous rotation servo. I have full fwd and rev AND speed control! Not to mention you g…

well i guess you are using well i guess you are using it to rotate the … ultrasonic sensor right? well why not just make it rotate at full speed and stop it some seconds later. that should do it. you know it may be slower than a normal servo but you (or we…got a continuous one t…

How would I do that? What How would I do that? What the programing code to go with that.

well … you just have to well … you just have to stick with chris’ codes i guess, they do work for my servo: 75: Fast fwd 95 Wiked slow fwd 160 Crazy slow rev 175 Fast Rev so you could write something like this: turnleft: servo 0, 75 wait 1 servo 0, 150

Thanks ! I’ll try this when Thanks ! I’ll try this when I am home.

continuous servo don’t work on First Robot
So I have to buy a new standard servo because I have a continuous servo? There is no way to make a continuous servo into a standard servo?
