Re: Reading Servo Data?

You might be able to take a servo apart, and use its internal pot as a feedback sensor

if you could pull it off you would have a nice mechanical package, with a splined shaft and all those neat little arms and levers that screw to the shaft.

Interesting idea! I think you would have to take the electronics out, and connect the 3 pot wires to the 3 pwm pins.

If you could get the servo motor and gears out of the thing then it would be easier to turn.
