This Continuous Rotation Servo provides smooth forward and reverse rotation under standard servo control, making it a great choice for drive systems, mobile robots, and other projects that need continuous motor movement.
This Continuous Rotation Servo rotates fully forward or backward instead of moving to a position. You can use any servo code, hardware, or library to control these servos. Good for making simple moving robots. Comes with four different horns, as shown.
To control with an Arduino, we suggest connecting the control wire to pin 9 or 10 and using the Servo library included with the Arduino IDE (see here for an example sketch). Position "90" (1.5ms pulse) is stop, "180" (2ms pulse) is full speed forward, "0" (1ms pulse) is full speed backward. They may require some simple calibration, simply tell the servo to 'stop' and then gently adjust the potentiometer in the recessed hole with a small screwdriver until the servo stops moving.
Please note: This product no longer includes the hole to adjust the Zero point.
