Default modification of servos

Hey guys
I picked up a Futaba 2ER set the other day, and it came with two servos. Talking with the guy at the store, he said it is possible to "modify" the servos so that they turn continuously instead of the 45ish degree arc they're set to.

Can anyone supply me with instructions on how to do that, or if it's been covered in a previous thread, a link to it?

Thanks!!

Awesome, I'll read through that right now (good Lord I don't like electronics but i'll give it a shot!)

is that a similar technique to this one I found here: http://www.princeton.edu/~mae412/TEX...02/292-302.pdf ??

Thanks a ton!

Yes, that's the same technique. Making the servo think it's centered.

In the seattlerobotics they also add some stuff to make the control response more lineair.
