Servo

## write()

#### Description

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).

#### Syntax

servo.write(angle)

#### Parameters

servo: a variable of type Servo

angle: the value to write to the servo, from 0 to 180

#### Example

    #include <Servo.h>

    Servo myservo;

    void setup()
    {
      myservo.attach(9);
      myservo.write(90);  // set servo to mid-point
    }

    void loop() {}
