I'd have though I'd covered those with the "act as variable speed continuous motors". However, the OP asked about setting specific angles of 0, 90, 180, 270 (I'm assuming the 270, they went 0, 90, 180, 360). Continous rotation types do not have feed-back for positions, so could not be commanded to rotate to any particular angle. That leaves us back with common positioning servos which normally run -90 to +90 (or 0 to 180, if one prefers... +/- 90 makes for sense if being used for a steering servo on a robot, where 0 is "straight ahead". It may also make sense for throttle control, where 0 is stopped, -90 is full reverse, +90 is full forward). -- Dennis L Bieber -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
