Making a rc servo spin continuous 360 and hold position.

This video details how to make a regular RC servo hold its position after moving the stick on the transmitter. This can be achieved in a couple ways but this video will show how to modify your servo to accomplish the hydraulic construction equipment stick movements.

Hope this video helps. If you have more questions please leave a comment and I will answer your questions. And if you want more details I can create a more detailed version.

Thanks for watching and hopefully we can get back to the construction videos! There will be some new machines coming!

Thank you sir!! Very usefull, and it worked great on my little 9g servo too.

[LegendaryRc]

awesome tutorial man
you got a new sub bro

Awesome to stumble across this video! I am planning a build where ill have a 60kg servo motor steering a trolling motor through a set of gears on the trolling motor shaft and atop the servo, trouble is, the remote joystick I have that controls the direction, same issue yours has, you move the joystick left and release, all it does is flicks back to centre, most annoying especially for times when i would want to hold the steering at a constant angle without holding the remote and thumb on the joystick constantly. Will a 360 deg servo have a potentiometer?

[AndyNuberg]

Thank you! But how do you make the setting on the receiver? I have the same Flysky :)

[ninjcrafts]

Would this modification create a continuous rotation servo or just a 360° positional servo? Also how much does this weaken the torque?

Hey so far best and easiest I've seen, I'm not new to RC but I am new to using servos for winch's I've seen some guys use ESC and even separate batteries to power there servo is that really necessary, trying to understand the purpose. Plus my servo does not have a pin on the gear.🤔 I thought I would just plug it in to the 3 channel on my receiver. Using your simple steps. Avoiding the ESC and an extra battery. Like I said I'm no whizz when it comes to electronics stuff🙏✝️☮️🏜️ help

The fact that the unmodified servo returns to "home" when the joystick is released is a function written into the program code or the joystick electronics. Normally an unmodified servo will move to where it's told and stay until it's given a signal to move somewhere else.
To state that the servo "wants to go back to home" on it's own is quite misleading.
Also, why was the physical stop left in place but the feedback pot disabled?

That tab on the main gear, no need to cut off, it pops right out with a center punch or even a small nail 8-)

i'm in search of a continuous rotational servo that has a brake. i'm using it in a winch application. i need to be able to hold a load when my control is in a neutral position. is there such a thing?

[coolinthewoods]

Good video. Mine keeps spinning 360 degrees. All I did was drill out the plastic inside that main gear that was shaped in a rectangle. But I didn't glue mine. Sounds like that was my mistake.

[andrewxie]

Can the servo be 360degree with position control?

[thqp]

I removed the pin that goes to the potentiometer on a 360 servo to make it spin, but now it spins for a while, before it slows down to like 20% speed, unless I stop the rotaion from the radio, and start it again. Any clues as to why this happens?

[theavglifter]

Hey. I'm in the opposite plight right now. I soldered in some new wires for my Slash's steering servo, and now it turns as shown in this video and wouldn't go back to centre or hold position in accordance with the transmitter's steering control.

Any fix to that? Thanks.

[Moestuin_RC]

Iam 2 years to late watching this clip. Really need this in my build bud iam to late :(

[caymanite_rc_construction]

What causes a 360 servo to always twicth like it want to spin on its own? I have to use the fine tune steering adjusters on transmitter to kind of stop them from moving on there own. Any help appreciated man

[yesdabestmen]

just wana ask my servo wont go back to neutral its a 360 servo. it holds where u steer. not like other servo it goes back to center. any servo suggstion for good steering?

[dennisfreitas]

hi so when I have the servo that I made into a 360 mode when I plug it into the receiver it just turns and turns I can change the direction but it just turns I must be doing something wrong

[johne]

Mine want stop spinning at all I need it to go left to right no 360
