Unlike regular servos that have limited motion of 180 or 270 degrees, this one has unlimited range of 360 degrees and in addition to that we have the ability to adjust the range of the rotation to whatever value we need. We can also set a custom center point, we can adjust the responsiveness, it has continuous rotation mode and it can be controlled through an analog input, digital input from a RC receiver and using the serial monitor from our PC. 00:00 Overview 04:18 How a Servo Motor Works 05:08 Closed-loop System 06:50 AS5600 Encoder 08:33 Circuit Diagram 10:59 PCB Design 13:09 3D Design - Gearbox 14:45 Assembling the Servo 17:36 Bootloader and Programming the Servo 19:28 Test 22:18 Code 24:37 Outro Visit HowToMechatronics.com for more Tutorials, Tips, Projects and How It Works videos: ► http://howtomechatronics.com/ Like my page on Facebook: ► https://www.facebook.com/howtomechatronics
