Caution : Do not overload the servo. The servo and your battery / power source could be damaged if the servo is overloaded.

Do not power the servo from a 9V battery. Most servos can’t take > 6V.

Continuous Rotation Servos

  • Continuous rotation servos are standard servos modified to perform open-loop speed control (instead of closed-loop position control)

  • Rotation speed and direction are controlled through PWM signals (pulse width) for continuous rotation servos, just like how the position is controlled for standard servos

  • Effectively, continuous servos are DC motors with integrated motor drivers and reduction gears in a compact, inexpensive package, rather than true 'servo' motors

  • Continuous rotation servos allow the rotation of the shaft to be set to various speeds

    • Electrical connections are identical to that of a standard servo.

    • The original servo library can be used; e.g., servo.write(angle),  angle = 0 to 180  → 0: full speed in one direction, 180: full speed in the other, and around 90: no movement

  • FS90R (also known as SG90 continuous / 360o/ full rotation) operating speed: 110RPM (4.8V); 130RPM (6V)

Can continuous rotation servos be used to achieve accurate positioning without any additional hardware?
