How do I tell which servo is connected to P13 and which servo is connected to P12?
You just plugged your servos into headers with numbers above them. If the number above
the header where the servo is plugged in is 13, it means the servo is connected to P13. If
the number is 12, it means it’s connected to P12.
√ When you are done assembling the system, it should resemble Figure 2-14.
