Servo 360 rotation mod (Parallax)

In this instructurable I will expalin and show you how to make a Parallax servo rotate 360º. And againI have search the internet to see tutorials clear enough to make this posible with no luck. Don't get me wrong they are some how good but not clear. This mod will help you to use the mod servo for robots that need a fully 360º rotation servo. Also some of the pictures were taken from other instructurables and google to help new users understand this instructurable. This mod is useful for your robotics needs.

Enjoy ;)

Step 1: Materials

Parallax servo

And I correct you they are 220 Ohm resistors. They worked perfectly

Yup!!! good one!! craigjw

Note:
assuming you have a solder sucker you can easily unsolder the pot from the board and use it in other projects :)

Just to be clear, the POT is a 4.7K variable resistor. be sure that you replace it with two 2.2k ohm resistors as seen in the picture above. the instructions are a little fuzzy and make it sound (to me) that two 220 ohm resistors are being used.

resistor color code

220 ohm: red red brown
2.2k ohm: red red red

Good tutorial

Parallax was one of the first companies to have a continuous rotation servo for its robots. I have seen other articles too. Many companies now have continuous 360 degree servos in most of the formats.
