Hello!
Could one of the Stug owners show a few pictures of how the limit switches for KWK are best fitted?
I would be very grateful for advice and pictures. Unfortunately, the Motion Pack assemply instructions do not help me much at this point.
Thank you in advance and best regards
Michael

Thank you Adrian!
I looked at the post, now it has become a lot clearer to me.
Is there also a possibility to limit the swiveling/rotation?
I've already thought about settings on the transmitter. Whether it works over the limitation of the servo travel? But there is a motor installed, so unfortunately I have no experience with that.

Looking at the pictures in that thread, it looks as though the traverse should just move the gun back and forth if you keep it in one direction too long.
A motor has no knowledge of its position, so you cannot just use the transmitter to limit it.
With some work, you could replace the motor with a servo, which would mean you have complete control. It looks like you would need a servo with 180 degrees of rotation in order to get the full range of movement.
