Pulse Width Modulation
Introducing the Servo Motor
Unlike the action of most motors that continuously rotate, a servo motor can rotate to and hold a
specific angle until it is told to rotate to a different angle. You can control the angle of the servo by
sending it a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) pulse train; the PWM signal is mapped to a specific
angle from 0 to 180 degrees.
