"""
Extends :class:`Servo` and represents a rotational PWM-controlled servo
motor which can be set to particular angles (assuming valid minimum and
maximum angles are provided to the constructor).
Connect a power source (e.g. a battery pack or the 5V pin) to the power
cable of the servo (this is typically colored red); connect the ground
cable of the servo (typically colored black or brown) to the negative of
your battery pack, or a GND pin; connect the final cable (typically colored
white or orange) to the GPIO pin you wish to use for controlling the servo.
Next, calibrate the angles that the servo can rotate to. In an interactive
Python session, construct a :class:`Servo` instance. The servo should move
to its mid-point by default. Set the servo to its minimum value, and
measure the angle from the mid-point. Set the servo to its maximum value,
and again measure the angle::
>>> from gpiozero import Servo
>>> s = Servo(17)
>>> s.min() # measure the angle
>>> s.max() # measure the angle
You should now be able to construct an :class:`AngularServo` instance
with the correct bounds::
>>> from gpiozero import AngularServo
>>> s = AngularServo(17, min_angle=-42, max_angle=44)
>>> s.angle = 0.0
>>> s.angle
0.0
>>> s.angle = 15
>>> s.angle
15.0
.. note::
You can set *min_angle* greater than *max_angle* if you wish to reverse
the sense of the angles (e.g. ``min_angle=45, max_angle=-45``). This
can be useful with servos that rotate in the opposite direction to your
expectations of minimum and maximum.
:param int pin:
The GPIO pin which the device is attached to. See :ref:`pin-numbering`
for valid pin numbers.
:param float initial_angle:
Sets the servo's initial angle to the specified value. The default is
0. The value specified must be between *min_angle* and *max_angle*
inclusive. ``None`` means to start the servo un-controlled (see
:attr:`value`).
:param float min_angle:
Sets the minimum angle that the servo can rotate to. This defaults to
-90, but should be set to whatever you measure from your servo during
calibration.
:param float max_angle:
Sets the maximum angle that the servo can rotate to. This defaults to
90, but should be set to whatever you measure from your servo during
calibration.
:param float min_pulse_width:
The pulse width corresponding to the servo's minimum position. This
