This is a small continuos servo compatible with Lego technic parts, the output axle is compatible with Lego technic axles. It is mainly used to drive wheels or gears.

This is a special servo because it can be used as a motor for boards that lack a motor drivers, for example IOBit. They can be controlled simply with IO pins.

### Specifications

#### This module can be used by Micro:bit and Meowbit.

### Programming the servo(Method 1)

The servo can be controlled with the pulse block.

![](https://kittenbothk-eng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/360servo_block1.png)

The pulse value for this servo is from 500 to 2500.

```
500 means full speed backwards, 2500 means full speed forwards, 1500 means full stop.
```
