Continuous Servo

Continuous Servo

Node for using continuously rotating servo motors. These types of motors, sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as “360 servos”, have two things you can control: The Speed of the rotation and the direction of the rotation. Unlike the other servo motors where you can tell the motor to move its arm to a specific location, continuous servos only know it’s own speed and rotational direction.

Connections

Inputs

  • speed
    • Range: 0 - 1
    • Rotational Speed of the Servo:
      0=Stopped
      1=Maximum speed
  • direction
    • Values: 0, 1
    • Rotational direction:
      0=Clocwise
      1=Counter Clockwise
  • place
    • Values: SERVO_BP1, SERVO_BP2
    • Choose where the Servo is connected.

Comment

Servo motors usually have gears inside that are quite fragile, so avoid moving the arm by yourself. Let the Quirkbot move it. Never use force or you can easily break it.

Continuous Servo Motors know their speed and direction because they have a built in Sensor that detects how the motor moves.
