Hi! I’m new to this, though I have some basic electronics experience, mostly diy guitar pedals. I’m trying to trigger a servo with an RF switch (this one - [DC 3.7V - 12V 5V Mini Size Relay Remote Control Switch, 433Mhz Wireless RF Momentary Switch with Delay Function, Transmitter and Receiver for Wireless Control, Toys, DIY, - Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F7CTDWT)) using the standard servo trigger board. I got everything connected and but it’s not working as expected. Once power is connected it starts continually rotating clockwise and does not stop. When I press the RF switch the servo rotates counterclockwise for as long as I hold down the button down. Adjusting the board’s potentiometers doesn’t seem to effect anything. Here’s a video showing what’s happening - [https://imgur.com/a/9tIQ5FR](https://imgur.com/a/9tIQ5FR) If it makes a difference I’m using a continuous servo with the generic servo trigger board. Thanks! J ---

> If it makes a difference I’m using a continuous servo This is your issue. You need a regular servo, not a continuous rotation servo. ---
