TESTING THE SERVOS

SERVOS
The continuous rotation servos used in the :MOVE mini are controlled in
the same manner as normal remote control servos. These servos are
controlled by a repeating pulse, whose width commands the servo to turn
to a position. For a normal servo, position is measured from the output
shaft and used to determine what angle the servo should stop at.
Because of component tolerances, we may need to set the centre point
on the :MOVE mini servos to ensure it will stop when commanded. This is
done with a trimmer, which is explained later on.
A continous rotation servo is slightly different. Instead of the signal telling
the servo how far to move, it tells the servo how fast to move.
