giving a 360 continuous servo positional awareness with a switch system

OP talks about a servo so should be quite accurate, though I don't see why you would need to zero that servo. Aren't servo controls normally absolute?

Six sensors, each 60 degrees apart to cover the full 360 degree, then it's a matter of writing the correct angle to the servo and it's pointing there.

Unless that "continuous servo" works a bit different.
