Python Code 15.1.1 Sweep
First observe the project result, and then analyze the code.
1. Use cd command to enter 15.1.1_Sweep directory of Python code.
cd ~/Freenove_Ultimate_Starter_Kit_for_Raspberry_Pi/Code/Python_Code/15.1.1_Sweep
2. Use python command to execute code "Sweep.py".
python Sweep.py
After the program is executed, the servo will rotate from 0 degrees to 180 degrees, and then from 180 degrees
to 0 degrees, circularly.
