In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.

In this video, I will show you how to control a servo using the Raspberry Pi Pico W using a potentiometer. I show how the servo position is controlled by the pulsewidth of a pulse sent to the control lead of the servo. The potentiometer value is mapped to angle, and then the servo angle is converted to PWM value, which is sent to the servo. Enjoy!
