Servo Control...

Hello Everyone,

I have a question for those of you who have used servos modified for
continuous rotation. Can the modified servo still stop at specified
locations, or is it just for rotation use after the changes have been made?
I guess I understand the servo modifications, but what happens on the
control or software end?

    You can't "position" a hacked servo like an unhacked one, but if you have a
    way to read where the servo is, you can stop it where you want. Where you
    normally change your pulse width to position an unhacked servo, with a
    hacked servo the pulse width will control the direction and speed.
