In the FAQ page, the question is:

3. I would like to control my servo motor to a certain angel, but i totally have no idea how to write the program.

At the end of the discussion - Sample source code has been provided too at the product page.

I can not find that sample code. Could someone post a link? I am using a MD13s.

Thanks

Hi,

Can I have the link for QnA that you mention? Cannot find that question on our MD13S page.
About your question, it depends on your control method, you can use a potentiometer to act as angle feedback, so you will able to use a DC motor and this motor driver the same as a servo motor.

I'll be using a homemade sevo. Pot on motor shaft for feedback and pot (for testing) representing GPS speed.

The FAQ you are referring to was how to control a RC servo and not the normal DC motor.

Anyway, you may refer to this tutorial on how to implement a PID control for DC motor.
Please take note that this tutorial is not using MD13S and you need to modify the code accordingly.
