1 Servo position is controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM): voltage pulses of between 1 and 2 ms in duration are sent to the servo at regular intervals (e.g. 50 Hz), with the width of the pulse determining its position. The exact relationship between pulse width and position varies from servo to servo, but a stop-to-stop range of around 1-2 ms is typical.
