Servo#

Initializing the Servo Class#

A Servo Output is created by using the following constructor:

Servo(port)

This constructor uses one parameter:

Parameter

Description

port

The 3-Wire Port to use for the Servo Output, whether it’s a port on the Brain, or a 3-Wire Expander.

A Brain or 3-Wire Expander must be created first before they can be used to create an object with the Servo Class constructor.

# Create the Brain.
brain = Brain()
# Construct a Servo Output "servo" with the Servo class.
servo = Servo(brain.three_wire_port.a)

This Servo object will be used in all subsequent examples throughout this API documentation when referring to Servo class methods.
