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);
        }
    }
}

Parameters

returns

A normalised number 0.0-1.0 representing the full range.

void Servo::write

(

float

percent

)

Set the servo position, normalised to it's full range

Parameters

percent

A normalised number 0.0-1.0 to represent the full range.
