Activity 3: Moving Your Servo Motors
Introduction
In the third activity, you will create a sketch to rotate a servo motor. Servo motors
allow movement to a set position regardless of the start position. The TETRIX servo
motors have a limited range of motion from 0 to 180°. For example, you can tell a
servo to go to position 45° regardless of where it starts. If it starts at 0°, it will move
clockwise to 45°. If it starts at 120°, it will move counterclockwise to 45°.
