Hi everyone. I am trying to modify an HS-311 servo for continuous rotation. After checking this site's tutorial (http://www.societyofrobots.com/actuators_modifyservo.shtml), I found it doesn't go into any depth onto how to build the circuit that will rotate your servo to 0°. Yes, I've also checked these (http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=4400.0) four (http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=507.0) forum (http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=1732.0) posts (http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=1350.0). Still, nothing explains how I build a circuit for said function. Even after some time googling the topic I have had no luck.
I really have no experience in electronics, but I have/can obtain the necessary tools/materials to build an electronic circuit.
Would anyone be so kind as to list out the steps/materials I will need to build this? Or can you point me to another tutorial that would address this?

you can either use a microcontroller to center it or use a circuit based off a 555 timer
