Servo
Servos have integrated gears and a shaft that can be precisely controlled. Standard servos allow the shaft to be positioned at various angles, usually between 0 and 180 degrees. Continuous rotation servos allow the rotation of the shaft to be set to various speeds.

Set Position in Degrees with Delay
Writes a value to the servo, controlling the shaft accordingly. On a standard servo, this will set the angle of the shaft (in degrees), moving the shaft to that orientation. On a continuous rotation servo, this will set the speed of the servo (with 0 being full-speed in one direction, 180 being full speed in the other, and a value near 90 being no movement). A configurable delay time is added after calling the servo to move to allow to the requested angle.
- Servo Pin # - The pin number that the servo is connected to.
- Degree (0~180) - The angle to move the servo shaft to.
- Delay (ms) - A delay in milliseconds after requesting the servo to move. This allows the servo physically move the servo shaft to the request angle.

Set Position in Microseconds (PWM)
Writes a value in microseconds (uS) to the servo, controlling the shaft accordingly. On a standard servo, this will set the angle of the shaft. On standard servos a parameter value of 1000 is fully counter-clockwise, 2000 is fully clockwise, and 1500 is in the middle.
- Servo Pin # - The pin number that the servo is connected to.
- Microseconds - Set the direct PWM value (instead of an angle) that is sent to the Servo.

Read Position
Returns the current angle of the servo (the value passed to the last call to Set Position in Degrees).
- Servo Pin # - The pin number that the servo is connected to.
