Continuous rotation servos

I have one of those laying around the house.
Can this servo be used with a prop-1 , and if so , is there some type of test code to see how it works?

Thanks.

You can connect a C/R servo to a Prop-1 -- just understand that it can only be used for rotating things, not for position.  Here's a simple demo (connect the servo to P0).

' {$STAMP BS1}
' {$PBASIC 1.0}

SYMBOL  Servo           = 0

SYMBOL  speed           = B2
SYMBOL  hold            = B3

Reset:
  LOW Servo

Main:
  FOR hold = 1 TO 25
    PULSOUT Servo, 150                  ' stop
    PAUSE 20
  NEXT

  FOR hold = 1 TO 25
    PULSOUT Servo, 100                  ' spin
    PAUSE 20
  NEXT

  FOR hold = 1 TO 25
    PULSOUT Servo, 150                  ' stop
    PAUSE 20
  NEXT

  FOR hold = 1 TO 25
    PULSOUT Servo, 200                  ' spin (reverse)
    PAUSE 20
  NEXT

  GOTO Main
