Many solve this problem by limiting the rotation of the module, either through software, hardware, or both.

If I remember right from another picture of this module the silver piece on the left side of the bottom circle of the module is used as a a hardware rotation stop.

EDIT: Found the post here. The piece is indeed a hardware stop limiting the module to 320 degrees of rotation.
