I'm trying to get this tracker software to work with a 360 degrees servo, no luck so far. the servo only spins faster and faster.

can 360 servo support please be added if possible ?

Long story short, 360 is supported, but you need right servo "The GWS S125 1T 2BB Sail Winch Servo is a unique servo that has a wider rotation range than typical hobby servos. It rotates one full turn (360°) over the standard 1-2 ms servo pulse range output"

There are two types of servos:

I'm guessing you are using a continuous rotation servo?

I understand now, I have a SPT 5525 servo which indeed is a continuous rotation servo.

Thanks for the explanation
