How to control Servo motor using my Libre Le Potato and Python

[afanqi]

Is it possible to use Python to control Servo? If it is, do you have a example or tutorial about how to do it?

Thanks

Servos are controlled via pulse width modulation (PWM). You can use the hardware PWM pins to control the servo. If you search sysfs pwm on Google or GitHub, you should find existing libraries to manipulate the sysfs files in your language of choice.

• C++
• Rust
• dbus
• Python

Try to avoid following Raspberry Pi based PWM libraries cause they’re usually poorly written and do things specifically for Raspberry Pi rather than the Linux standard way.
