(Apr. 23 - 29) Servos!

This week in shop I worked on making a program that controls servos from the Jetson nano. I used the adafruit pca library to write the script in python. Installing the packages initially gave me some trouble, but by changing permissions and installing prerequisites, I was eventually able to get the packages to work. Currently the servos are controlled by the wasd keys, but in the future they will be controlled by a controller. The reason why I am using two servos instead of a servo and a motor is because the electronic speed controller uses a pwm input to control the motor. This means that I only need to find the input values that result in the car moving a certain speed.
