    // of 0.500 microseconds to 2400 microseconds to control the servo
    // angle movement by default, you can change that as seen in the
    // above declaration.
    //
    // This means pulseWidth (e.g. Servo SG90):
    // 1. min = 500 micro seconds
    // 2. max = 2400 micro seconds
    // (It is usually safe to start with a 90 degree angle, 1.5ms duty
    // cycle in most servos)
    //
    // Please review your servo datasheet to make sure of correct
    // angle range and the Freq/MS Duty cycle it requires.
    // If more servo support is needed leave us a comment, raise an
    // issue or help us add more support.
