Re: How to stop the servo
When you tell the PWM driver to generate a signal, it will keep generating that signal until you tell it to do something else.
If you disconnect the PWM driver's power and reconnect it, that should put the board back into its default state.

I disconnected both the pi micro usb power and the power plug for the servo driver. It took about a day but the servo finally stopped. I'll post another topic in the forum if the issue progresses.
