Hi all,
i want to control a continuous rotation servo, i am using the latest ESP Easy version and connecting my signal pin from the servo to GPIO12 in the ESP12E, as far as i understand in the continuous rotation servos there is nothing to limit the rotation based on position, i am using the commands like http://<ESP IP address>/control?cmd=Servo,<servo nr>,<pin>,<position> and the + an - signs in the position manage the direction of rotation, however i do not know how to stop the rotation
am i missing something ?
thanks a lot

Found atPosition "90" (1.5ms pulse) is stop, "180" (2ms pulse) is full speed forward, "0" (1ms pulse) is full speed backwards. They may require some simple calibration, simply tell the servo to 'stop' and then gently adjust the potentiometer in the recessed hole with a small screwdriver until the servo stops moving.

Re: Controlling a continuous rotation servo
Thank you for the info, actually i have had this link some time ago, and i tried the pulse method with no luck, it just turns the servo on for a fraction of a second and it stops
i use http://192.168.1.234/control?cmd=pulse,12,1,2
any other ideas ?
