Hey folks, I am developing a fire control computer for Big Gun R/C Model Warship Combat using the picaxe 08M. My question is about standard hobby servos and the range of motion that picaxe SERVO command can obtain from them.
For reference, I use Hitec HS-311 standard servos that, when plugged into a common RC receiver, travel approximately 45 degrees in each direction for a total of 90 degrees travel. I have seen products called "servo stretchers" that read the signal from the receiver, and modify it so that the same servo moves 90 degrees in each direction for a total of 180 degrees travel. For example,

What I'd like to know is, does the SERVO command provide a similar range of motion?
