Continuous Servo Speed

Hey guys,

My son and I are struggling a little with slowing down the continuous (wheel) servos. I've read other threads and posts about it, but when we try changing the stop values in the servo Movement Panel we just go in circles. Literally and figuratively. Any help would be awesome. stress

Thanks DJ, it was very helpful. There's so much information here it's hard to find everything that's available. I think we might have a bad servo though. Adjusting the potentiometer on the left wheel servo worked like a jiff, but I can't get any change in the right one. Also, we've noticed that sometimes when we are using the arrow keys to control/test movement, the right servo shutters, sometimes it won't go at all and sometimes it just shutters for a second or two then takes off. Thoughts?

Hi DJ,, Liked that video, good info ( i have the adventure bot too). But also have a question. Is there a easy way(Im sure there is) to make the those servos go really fast or really so while using the control panels? I assume two control panels with the different settings each?

I use the mobile interface and add multiple buttons so you can press the one you want for the speed you want. You just set the direction and the speed in the script.

That video was great, it really lays out how to set up the Continuous Rotation servo. But what a teaser! Running into the "Inverted Pendulum Guy". Can't wait for those to available!
