When connecting my servos (now gear head motors) to
the HandyBoard - do I need to a) replace the pot with the resistor
network or b) remove the electronics all together? I'm unclear if the
PWM routines on the HB (fd, bk, and motor) are the kind of PWM that
control a servo or the kind that control a DC motor. My gut feeling is
DC motor because of the other servo routines (servo_on, servo_off,
etc.).

| If you just want to use them as motors, then B is the appropriate solution. You are correct in the motor PWM routines are just used to control the amount of energy going to the motors. The servo routines (using the expansion board) are the kind for (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| (...) What sources for servo hacking have you read? Depending on the servo (the Futaba S148 is the easiest), there are a few things to do. Using the 148 as my example; Clip off the end-stop and pull the bushing from the spline gear and remove the (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
