I need about 270 degrees rotation, in 30 or 45 degree steps. +/- 3 degrees accuracy would be good enough. Very little torque required, rotates a sensor horizontally. Can't rotate > 360 deg. Needs to be able to be made weather proof (within reason). Speed is not important. Will scan maybe ea 15 minutes, for 12 hours a day.
I thought this would be a good 08 + RC servo application (never used one before) but I guess the max rotation is less than 270. Can someone tell me what the real world max rotation is? I'm not seeing that on the datasheets (probably means I'm blind).
Assuming the servo won't do it what other 08 driven suggestions do folks have? I don't really want to hassle with a stepper and some kind of limit/0 position sensor, but if I must, I must.
