Is the little green LED lit on the servo board?

I dont't know if you;ve done this or not... on the module page, the channel with the srrvo controller needs to be set for servo in the drop down box.

You will use a variable or fixed servo widget for control.

Hello,

I am a newbie and couldn't find the answer about my question in the forum.

Is it possible (or why not) to make a 360 degree turn with my S3003 servo?

what is the max angle  ?

Cheers

There are ways to mod the S3003 to make it continuous 360. Requires some soldering.

This makes the servo move in one direction continuously.
