thing we need is we want to turn the servo backwards after the servo makes full rotation

our program in Turing doesnt seem to work either...
The main problem you have is that hobby servos won't make a full rotation. They tend to be limited to around 180 degrees, and have no internal feedback to allow you to know when they've reached their holding point, so you'd need an external limit switch to feed that back, and let the code know when to reverse.
