Robotic Arm Project

My newest project: a robotic arm controlled by a joystick.· Maybe someday I'll break myself from these VB6/Joystick/BASIC Stamp projects and try something else, but for now:

Can some explain to me how a continuous servo works?· I'll put any number 0-1500 in PULSOUT to my servo and it always seems to spin clockwise at different speeds regardless of the size of number I put in.· Is there a way to control the continuous servo at variable speeds and bi-directional.· I've gotten a standard servo to go both ways without a problem, but I need to be able to rotate beyond 360 degrees.·

I don't want to use a DC Motor because the electronics are so simple for a servo and size is somewhat of an issue.

main:
PULSOUT ServoPin,1200 '0 - 1500 I know what this means to the stamp, but what does it mean to                                                                                     the servo 

GOTO main

Thanks !
