Week 1: Actuators

Open to everyone

Step 5: PWM for signals

Please note that PWM is quite an outdated way of sending signals- it's acceptable for basic servos like these and it's simple to use.

For more complex data transmittion, serial data protocols like I2C and SPI are generally needed; we'll circle back to this later on in semester 2, where you'll see how to use these to communicate with drone avionics.
