    You can only control the speed.

    There is no feedback, no position control. It has to be done separately, positioning through software.

    When you say it has to be done separately, do you mean it will work with software sending datarefs to an arduino, wired to the pololu???

    Im sure I must be bugging the hell out of you by now man..haha One more question though. If I wire the pololu SMC to the arduino for position control, do I wire the potentiometer to the arduino or can I wire it to the motor controller. The code Im working with is a simple 3 pin servo code.
