I received my kits today, Finally I can start with my first module of Enchanted Wardrobe. It would be around the Yun.

P.S the servo is quiet big, I got an idea to use it wisely ,@STAY TUNED! for more.

Thanks Element14 once again...

Here's the review and a test bed: Review 3: Digital Continuous Rotation (360°) Servo.
My next challenge is to find a nifty way to use this type of motor. I wasn't expecting a continuous servo.
It's surprises like this that may steer us into unknown directions .

Sounds good, I've tried your code and can confirm that it's a continuous rotation servo. That's no good for what I need but I'd already bought myself a smaller servo that is a standard positional model.

I'm going to write a review here on element14 today.
It's going to include a test bed where you can enter the speed in the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE, between 0 (fast counter clock) and 180 (fast clowkwise). It will run at that speed for 5 seconds then stop.

I've been digging a bit further in the howabouts of this type of servo,

and my code above is more complex than it should be.

There's no need to keep telling it the speed in the loop.

#include <Servo.h> 

Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo 

void setup() 
{ 
  myservo.attach(9);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object 
  myservo.write(100);
} 

void loop() 
{ 
  // this space intentionally left blank
}

I'm still learning about this, but these servos work differently.

If you write 90 to them, they stop, in the current position, not in a fixed 0 point.
A value lower than 90: turn left. The lower the value, the faster the speed.
A value higher than 90: turn right The higer the value, the faster the speed.
