Hi,
   I am trying to implement a auto recharge system for my robot. i am using a
homming beacon on the recharging station and whenever myrobot is out of charge
it has to find the that beacon. to scan the area i need to use the sero motor.
i never used a servo motor for continuous rotation. and i never opened one to
see the pot arrangement. so my question is if we modify the servo for continous
rotation is it still going work as a sero or then it's just a ordanary motor.
all i need is to get 360 deg of rotation for my scan.  i am waiting for this
part of my design to complete.  please help with this question.

thanks in advance.
