			===Selecting Min and Max Pulse Width===

			The easiest way to determine the range of pulse widths to use is to check your servo's datasheet or specification table and use the numbers provided. If you do not have the numbers, you can determine them by following this process:

			* Set the minimum to 1000us and the maximum to 1001us. This will probably be a safe midpoint to start from.
			* Reduce the minimum to 900us and hit apply. Enable the servo and test moving the position to either extreme.
			* Continue to reduce the minimum and test the range. If at any point the servo vibrates or makes a buzzing noise, it means it's stalled out and you've gone past its minimum. Continue increasing the minimum until there is no buzzing or vibration when holding the minimum position.
			* Repeat this process for the maximum pulse width, increasing it until the motor stalls out and then decreasing until it doesn't.

			This process is important because selecting a minimum or maximum pulse width that results in the motor stalling could have an impact on the motor's lifespan if it spends a lot of time holding position at those locations.

			If you have a continuous rotation servo, you don't have to worry about it stalling so you can just increase the maximum and decrease the minimum until you reach the servo's maximum speed.
