Customer:
I ordered MG995/360 servo motors for my project and later realized they are continuous rotation servos. Before I order again, are the MG995/180 standard servos with a potentiometer?

Dobar dan, naručio sam mg995/360 servo motore za zavrsni rad i kasno shvatio da su to kontinuirani servoi,volio bih znati prije nego narucim opet jesu li mg995/180 obicni servoi sa potenciometrom?

Yes, the servo motors marked as 180 degrees are the ones you need. The 360 degree servo motors are actually DC motors that rotate continuously - you can only change their direction and speed of rotation by changing the PWM signal. With the 180 degree models, changing the PWM signal changes the rotation angle (motor position) instead.

Da, servo motori s oznakom 180 stupnjeva su motori koji vama trebaju. Servo motori 360 stupnjeva su zapravo DC motori koji se kontinuirano rotiraju, samo im se može mijenjati smjer i brzina vrtnje s promjenom PWM signala, dok se kod ovih prvih s promjenom PWM signala mijenja kut zakreta (položaj motora).
