Servo

R/C Model Servo

A library for controlling a R/C model Servo.

A standard R/C model servo is controlled using a PwmOut signal with a 20ms period, and modulates the pulsewidth from 0.5ms to 2.5ms to give the full range of the servo, usually 180 degrees.

Warning

A servo requires higher current than the USB port can safely provide, and so it is essential that you power the servo using an external supply, such as a 4xAA (6v) battery pack or an appropriate DC power adaptor.
