Hello Everyone,
I know that a continuous servo CANNOT be told to turn to a certain ANGLE.
However, can I get a continuous servo to turn a certain amount of DEGREES? If yes, how could I achieve this?
Ordinarily, I would just plug in my Arduino, attach the servo and upload whatever code. Sadly my Arduino's servo broke a while back, so that's out of the question.
Thank you in advance

You mean you don't have replacement gears or servo horn or you don't know how to replace them ?
All you can do with a continuous rotation servo (CRS) is specify the speed at which it turns and the time for how long it turns. That may or may not give a reasonably consistent angle.
I have a turntable driven by a CRS in which there is a detector that is touched when the servo has moved to the correct position and which tells the Arduino to stop the CRS. The way I have it set up the detector physically stops the turntable as well as telling the Arduino to stop telling the CRS to move.
The detector is actually controlled by another regular servo so it can be lifted out of the way when I want the turntable to move to the next position.
