comment can a servo board be used to drive a DC motor
The servo still works after reassembly. I may need to look inside a few to find ones that are suitable - which may make this far less useful than I thought.

This may make more for an instructible than a question. Opening my first servo, a working supertec, the servo motor is soldered into the PCB. Desoldering it would be possible - but I am going to put it back together, and try a Hitec servo instead. I am a bit reluctant to use the pricier Futaba servo's I have.

I've found this forum thread here - forum.pololu.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1785 - where the same thing is being proposed.

Hmm - not quite what I was expecting. When driving a speed controlled motor via a H-bridge, you would possibly use PWM to do so, being aware of which duty-cycle's a DC motor is not going to stall with. I've clarified my question as I think you think I meant a board external to the servo - I mean the board inside the servo. Perhaps a block diagram would help.

1 I/O control pin for a bidirectional servo? Or even a speed controlled servo modified for continuous rotation? It's a bit of a bargain isn't it? I am effectively modifying for continuous rotation, but taking the controlled motor outside of the servo casing.

Clarifying - not a servo driver, but the servo innards.

Yann - I've rephrased that question to make it clearer what I meant. The answer does mean additional hardware is needed - but is comprehensive enough to be marked as the correct response.

Hmm - I've now found this link electro-tech-online.com/microcontrollers/… - where some helpful chappy has posted a schematic. Handy - since the loginway documentation is a bit sparse.
