Reset Calibration

Hello

I have been trying to figure out how to reset a servo's default 90, my robot head turns almost 180 degrees to the right and 5 degrees to the left.

I tried the screw, and re aligning but its clear the motor thinks its at 90 when its closer to 180. how do you reconfigure a servo's set 90 position?

Im in Cambridge, Ontario, and i have tried to calibrate it several times to be sure. i did it by detaching the horizontal head clip and running the "all to 90" in the diagnostics and then attaching it to be sure it was on correct. this is the 3ed robot i have built so i have tried all the normal stuff i should try

Oh! I thought you lived in cKgary for some strange reason that only my crazy spaced brAin can justify. The other revolution robots you built calibrated the attachments correctly?

So it's just this one? That seems to change its 90 degree position?

Interesting! I wonder if the pot inside is loose. Feeling adventurous to open it up?

The little potentiometer inside reports the position. There is usually a screw holding it in place.
