To be clear, you want to back drive the servo manually to a position to perform a "calibration" of the desired angle?
You can't read the position back through the PWM channel. You'll need to add a sensor here to accomplish this.
Describe your calibration process a little more and maybe we can offer some different options.
Also, you want want to make sure the servo is powerful enough to do the job (rotating a claw?). FIRST doesn't allow very powerful servos as their power supply comes from the DSC.
