    360 degree servo for 737 faps gauge

    Hi all.

    Just wonder why not to use a 360 degree servo for flaps gauge, to advoid fiddyling with gear ( direct drive ). The opencockpits usb servocard offer 1024 bits resolutions, so with a 360 degree servo you get 360/1024=0.35degree per stepe, as i see it it must give a smooth movement to the gauge neddle...

    Any comments to this issue or experience???


    Best regards zirakonium....

    As far as I'm aware, there are no 360 degree controlled servos - I think the ones that are advertised as 360 degree are continuous rotation.

    This one should do it, a one turn (360 degree servo)

    Interesting - Thanks for that.

    It is a bit on the large side, but I can see a use for it.

    I might get one to experiment with.

    Best Regards,

    Rob
