What is the range of motion for the servos? I cannot find it anywhere.

Thank you for any help.

I believe it is 170 degees around.

Thank you, although that seems a bit high. Just to clarify, I'm talking about the effective angle you can command it to, not the full mechanical range you can turn it to.

180? Okay, that seems about right. However, I didn't think they went quite that far. 170 was my guess. I'll look at ours, maybe there are differences. I can tune it with the camera, anyway.

Thank you for the help.

The standard camera servos are 170, as shown by the centerpoint of 85 in the camera software. Most standard servos are 170 or 180.

I guess I'll use 170 for the angle.

Thank you for all the help.
