General Question on The Parallax Continous Servo with a Prop Board.

W8VK

Hello All!
Can the Parallax Continous Servo hooked to a Prop Board move as little as 1 Degree at a time in either direction?

I'm interested in playing with a servo that could go a total of 10 turns, and either direction at what i consider a very fine movement of 1 degree at a time, and bigger steps too! Thanks for reading this post!

Depends on the pulses you send to it. I recently wrote a Spin-only servo driver that gives you 1us resolution and speed control over each servo ("borrowed" the commands from the SSC-32). The object is attached for you to work with if you like (will do more work with it before posting ObEx). You set the position in microseconds; you'll have to see if a 1-microsecond position change corresponds to one degree of movement -- but when using a C/R servo you will see a speed change, not a measurable move.
