I am looking for an alternative to the servos with the pots removed on the InMoov robot. I was wondering if a continuous servo could replace these considering the comprehensive control we now have using EZ Builder. I have removed a few of these pots but am still having issues with the shoulders operating reliably. I cant help but think there must be a simpler solution to this. Any advice welcome.
Find out more how servos work from this tutorial on the learn section of ezrobot: https://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Lesson/48?courseId=6
As you will read from that important tutorial relevant to this discussion, a continuous rotation servo does not know its position and spins like a regular motor (i.e. Ceiling fan). If you use w continuous rotation servo for your robot, the joins will spin in circles like a helicopter.
