Arduino 360 Servo Control Not Possible?

I am not sure how to control a 360 servo connected to an Arduino with MATLAB. The example here is for an 180 degree servo and I also understand that there is a Simulink Support Package for continuous servo writing here. I am not using Simulink for my project. How do I control this servo motor?

[Stijn Haenen]

In the example for a 180 degree servo, this line is used to control the angle;

writePosition(s, angle);

For the 360 deg servo you cannot send a command for angle, only for speed. Use:

writePosition(s, 90);

for full speed rotation and

writePosition(s, 0);

to stop the servo.

Hi, I am having a very similar problem. I am wondering if you found a solution and if so could you please provide me with advice on how to control my 360 servo. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,

MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware supports only 180 degrees Servo.

To use 360 degrees Servo please use Custom Addon library as mentioned in this link,
