I am new to Arduino and electronics and encountered a problem with a continuous rotation servo.
I am using a motor to move a cube that weighs approx. 0.3 kilos up and down. When it goes down the motor movement does not fully stop under this weight.
What would be the best and easiest way to resolve this issue? Thanks.
Upgrade servo.
Don’t use a servo. Stepper would be better.
lower weight
Reverse servo when stopping. Warning, this will likely damage components.
W/o knowing more details as to how you're moving this block, it's impossible to say what the problem is or a good solution. Are you aware how an elevator works ? That it has a counter-weight so little torque is needed to hold the elevator in place or maintain a constant speed ? Do you slow down the motor/cube as it approaches it's stop positions so momentum doesn't carry it through the desired stop position ?katya:

Love it when people ask the same question over several forums. And then they don’t respond back. These are the kind of people I don’t like helping.
The comments there echo those here … WTF is the OP trying to do and has he/she considered the momentum involved.
As to cross-posting vs forums … I’m a bit divided. It has the smell of desperation even spread as it was … and then we have the posters who (honestly) expect the every whim of theirs it to be answered by some minion on the WWW. I’m happy to give whatever guidance I can to those not “demanding” it but when it’s an “I’m too lazy to even Google it …”
I understand if someone uses several forums for opinion related responses, but the fact that he doesn’t even respond to his own threads pisses me off. Makes me wonder if he read the replies…
Also, the his question was a common sense question burns me up. Kids and teenagers today just don’t have common sense. They expect all the answers right now without having to think about where the answer came from. That’s is the only downside of the internet. All the answers are at their finger tips, they don’t have to think.
