Blocks

Servo - Set Angle

This block moves the Servo's horn to the configured angle. The Servo will attempt to move to the angle at the fastest speed.

Note: The angle is relative to where the Servo's horn has been place. Therefore, it is recommended to calibrate the angle first by setting the angle to 0, then placing the Servo horn.
