Continuous Rotation Servo

AcontinuousrotationRCservousesthesamepulses/controlasanormalanalogRCservobut
insteadconvertsthepulsestospeedanddirection,where1.5mscorrespondstostopped,0.5ms
isfullspeedcounterclockwiseand2.5msisfullspeedclockwise.Intermediatevalues
correspondstointermediatespeeds.Acontinuousrotationservocannotbeassignedtoa
specific(orrelative)angleandoperatesmuchlikeaDCgearmotor.
Digital R/C Servo

AdigitalservomotoroperatesthesamewayasanormalanalogR/Cservo,butoftenallowsfor
moreprecise/fastermovement.Inmanycases,theservo’slimitsandcenterposition(aswell
asavarietyofotherparamaters)canbechangedusingaservoprogrammer(theSSC32Uis
notadigitalservoprogrammer).Oncetheservohasbeenprogrammed,itcanbeusedjustlike
anyotheranalogR/Cservomotor.Digitalservomotorslookthesameasanalogservomotors.
Smart Servo

A“SmartServo”isaservowhichisnotnormallycontrolledbyanR/Csignalbutratherusing
serialcommands.TheconnectorofasmartservoisnormallydifferentthanthatofanR/Cservo.
TheSSC32Uisnotmeanttocontrolsmartservomotors.Smartservomotorsoftenhave
different/custommechanicaldesignsthanR/Cservos.
