"""
A simple class for controlling hobby servos.
Args:
pin (pin0 .. pin3): The pin where servo is connected.
freq (int): The frequency of the signal, in hertz.
min_us (int): The minimum signal length supported by the servo.
max_us (int): The maximum signal length supported by the servo.
angle (int): The angle between minimum and maximum positions.
Usage:
SG90 @ 3.3v servo connected to pin0
