Ok, thanx to Ignoblegnome idea I have done my 360° servo
First i started cutting pieces of PVC, i took a bunch of screw and nuts in order to build the frame for my superservo...
but suddenly Gareth appears in my mind and say: "Use the polymorph Luke..." :O
yeah right, very easy, 10 minutes of work and it's done, very sturdy and precice.
Now i can sweep my sensor in 360° :D

Great job! I’m glad my idea helped.
I may have to implement this some day.
Suggestion: Alter your post title and tags to include terms like ‘360’. It will make it much easier to search for.

Nifty, but I don’t think I understand the application: Are you trying only to make a continuous rotation servo, or just one that does 360 degrees? Either way, isn’t it more compact to just modify the servo to continuous rotation?
Gearing it up means you loose a bit of torque too - if that’s a problem…?
or is it all about speed?
Continuous rotation is no
Continuous rotation is no good
because i have to take samples ad specific angles
metacode:
position servo to 0°
read sensor
position servo to 15°
read sensor
position servo to 45°
read sensor
and so on…

The genesis of this idea was a Shout Box discussion that led me to post this:

Looking very smooth in the 2nd video. I hope it is meeting all your needs for this robot.

but it’s hery hard to obtain a clean reading from srf08 :</p>
echoes are very unpredictable
i am thinking to trash it and to use a sharp sensor
