Detailed Description

Servo control class, based on a PwmOut.

Example: 

 // Continuously sweep the servo through it's full range
 #include "mbed.h"
 #include "Servo.h"
 
 Servo myservo(p21);
 
 int main() {
     while(1) {
         for(int i=0; i<100; i++) {
             myservo = i/100.0;
             wait(0.01);
         }
         for(int i=100; i>0; i--) {
             myservo = i/100.0;
             wait(0.01);
         }
     }
 }
