<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>To get a RC servo to go more than 180' just remove the pot wires and replace with a resistor of half the value of the pot , the servo can never find home and so will rotate in either direction forever!</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone thought of floppy drives ? they contain stepper motors [ for the read/write heads ] more than capable of driving gauges with built in driver electrics&nbsp;if you re-use the electronics they come with , they usually just need one signal to&nbsp;alert the motor and then a either up or down signal for direction.</DIV>
