reversing c36r servo

[hafiz]

i want to reverse the rotating direction of c36r servo. i use 4 servos. i just want 2 servos rotate in the opposite direction for my auv project. can anyone help me please...

Are you using this C36R? Or C36R(360 DEGREE)?

C36R is the standard RC servo. You can download the sample source code provided in Useful Document section. C36R(360 DEGREE) is actually a dc motor.

i'm using c36r standard servo. what i'm willing to do is when same pwm signals are send to each servo at the same time, 2 servo will rotate in opposite direction for example when 2ms pulse is send , 2 servo will rotate +90 degree while the other 2 rotate -90 degree. i've found a method that need a modification to be done in the servo - by switching the potentiometer connection (outer leg) and dc motor polarity. however i found that this modification is hardly can be done for c36r servo because the potentiometer and the dc motor legs is soldered directly to the circuit board. the modification might damage the servo. is there other method to solve this problem? thank sich for your reply

All that can be done by programming, easier to use Servo Controller (SC08A) also the servo controller can set the speed. No need polarity reversing or mechanical modification.

anybody have a sample program to reverse a servo motor?

anybody have a sample program to reverse a servo motor?

?? You only able to rotate the servo motor in one direction?
Isn't there is a sample source code in C36R product page?

I don think you understand the working concept of RC servo, there is no reverse or forward. Is positioning. You can move it to a position, you can move it to any position.

What is the code you are using? show it to us and we show you where to modify.

can i still control the servo motor in the program after i hack it into dc motor?

[robosang]

You can still control it, but like a normal DC motor, speed control, not position control.

And there are 2 methods of modifying the servo.

[danny]

actually my problem right now is to control the position...is there any chance that i can control the position?
