Continuous Rotation Servo Speed

Is there any way to control the speed of the continuous rotation servo's from the developers kit via the mobile interface?

I tried a few different controls but none seem to work. I also tried the servo speed command

They move like their trying to win a speed race.

Thanks

First thank you for all the replies.

I tried Jeremie's advice and it seemed to worked mostly. I only had time to test on a single servo on D0.

My stop value ended up being 108.

However I noticed something odd I have not yet been able to pin down.

  1. Sometimes their seem to be a very slight delay between hitting stop and the servo actually stopping all the way. Slight vibration in the servo but the wheel does not seem to move and then the servo goes completely silent.

  2. It almost seemed like I had some drifting on the stop value. Sometimes after resetting the EZB I would have to adjust the stop one up or one value down. However I am recharging the batteries just to make sure they weren't playing a role. More testing is needed on my side.

I will also try the scripting methods provided since eventually I would want to script this so I can control the speed at any time.

What is the function of the servo speed control and what is the use cases. I ask since in my case it made no difference in speed on 360° Servos.

Thanks

Speed control on normal servos is very useful. Panning cameras slowly or a when used as an arm linkage (moving an arm into position).... High speed arm movements makes it look like the robots arm is flailing.... Slowing servos down helps with more precise movements in many cases.... Gives robots like JD and Six the ability to walk or run so to speak....

Servo Speed doesn't affect modified servos which is why it made no difference. Following Jeremie's advice should aid you in setting up the modified/360 degree servo's speeds.

I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure how to give credit for good advice. Thanks for your help. Special thanks to Jeremie for his excellent explanation. If there is a thumbs up button, please let me know.

@Pilgrimgary,

If you post a new topic, and mark it as needing assistance, then you will be able to give credit to anyone who answered your question. Only use it if you really need assistance though, and not just for general conversation or simple questions. The person awarded credit for the answer earns store credit in the EZ-B shop (currently $3 per answer ) so there are some terms of service around its use.

There is no general "thumbs up" function, although a thank you post like you did is just as good.
