Re: servos

sorry.. a non related servo question.

can you get feedback from a servo, so it can tell the controller at what degree it is rotated at, say if you have it on an arm that moves, and want to use it as a sensor?

also, if the above situation does not work, can you use that servo, along with another motor, to move the arm by degrees? What I mean is, you tell the servo to whatever degree you want it, and when it reaches that degree, you have the other motor cut off as well?

Why I am asking exactly is because I want to know how to easily do feedback on swerve drive. And I dont like potentiometers at all.
