EX:
/*
* Robotics with the BOE Shield - RightServoTest
* Right servo turns clockwise three seconds, stops 1 second, then
* counterclockwise three seconds.
*/

#include <Servo.h> // Include servo library

Servo servoRight; // Declare right servo

void setup() // Built in initialization

block
{
servoRight.attach(12); // Attach right signal to
pin 12

servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1300); // Right wheel clockwise

 delay(3000); // ...for 3 seconds

servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1500); // Stay still

delay(1000); // ...for 3 seconds

servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1700); // Right wheel

counterclockwise
delay(3000); // ...for 3 seconds

servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1500); // Right wheel

counterclockwise

void loop() // Main loop auto-repeats

{ // Empty, nothing needs
repeating
