    TYPES OF SERVO MOTORS:

                     The types of servo motors based on rotation capability are as follows:
                     1.  Positional Rotation Servo Motor (0°-180°): This type of servo motor
                         can rotate within a 180° range, making it perfect for applications that
                         require limited movement, such as robotic arms or steering systems.
                         It is commonly used to control the position in robotic arms, camera
                         pan and tilt systems, and automated doors. The motor is controlled
                         by sending PWM signals to the control pin, with the angle determined
                         by the duty cycle of the signal.

                                             2.     Continuous Rotation Servo Motor (360°): Unlike the 180° servo,
                                                   the 360° continuous servo motor can rotate continuously in either
                                                   direction,  making  it  ideal  for  applications  that  require  constant
                                                   rotation, such as wheels in robots or conveyor belts. It is commonly
                                                   used  in mobile  robots,  motorised  vehicles, and any project  that
                                                   needs continuous motion. The motor is controlled by PWM signals,
                                                   which determine the speed of rotation rather than a fixed angle.

                               CONTROLLING SERVO MOTORS WITH MICRO:BIT

                     The Micro:bit is a versatile microcontroller that can be used to control servo motors in various
                     projects. By sending PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals through one of its output pins, the
                     Micro:bit can control the position or speed of a servo motor.
