Servo motors are a type of electromechanical actuators that do not rotate continuously
like DC/AC or stepper motors, rather they used to position and hold some object.
They are used where continuous rotation is not required so they are not used
to drive wheels (unless a servo is modified). [...]

In the last
tutorial you saw how the PWM technique helps us generate analog signals
from a microcontroller. In this tutorial we will see how PWM generation is implemented
with microcontrollers.
Before you begin please see

A digital device like a microcontroller can easily work with inputs and outputs
that has only two state, on and off. So you can easily use it to control a LED's
state i.e. on or off. In the same way you can use it to control any electrical
device [...]
