Sweet camera control, guess it isn't as easy as I thought. I'm not
looking for precision and this is how I stoped my servos from returning
to center. I cut off the prong that moves the pot along with the
control arm gear, thus giving me 360 degrees and stops where I quit
sending pulses. Now if I can only hardwire it, even if I could
hardwire a old controller straght to the servos, eliminating the
reciever.
How about simply connecting a toggle switch directly to the motor in the servo? Or directly to the potentiometer (not using any electronics in the servo)? If your servo needs only very little power (and to move a camera, it probaly will), just try this. It may burn out the pot in your joystick, but it may be worth a try because it is probably the simpelest thing by far:
