-#include "mbed.h"
+//This software is derived from the example Nucleo_pwm.
+//It outputs a PWM signal that is compatible with Tower Pro SG90 servos.
+//It makes the servo move from one programmed position to another each time the
+//user button is pressed.
+//The programmed positions are defined by the values that are stored in
+//the variable "pulseDurationInMicroSeconds". 
+//An index counter is used to select which value is to be used to set the pulse
+//duration of the PWM signal that controls that servo.
+//The value of this index counter is changed each time the user button is
+//pressed and the changes are made in a way that makes the program repeatedly
+//cycles through all the possible positions.
+//It is just necessary to add values to "pulseDurationInMicroSeconds" to have
+//the servo adopt more positions.
+
+//Just connect the brown wire of a SG90 servo to GND, its red wire to AVDD and
+//its the orange wire to D11 to have the SMT32-F401RE contol the servo.
+//
