Hi,
I am learning how to use 16 Channel PWM Servo Hat. Is there any way to control speed of the servo?

Re: Servo Speed Control with PWM Servo Hat
With digital servos, the servo speed can be tuned with a servo programmer. With standard analog servos, you control the speed by sending a series of incremental positions.

Re: Servo Speed Control with PWM Servo Hat
Thanks for answer. I was hoping that there is a simple python command that sets servo speed in the Adafruit servo driver library. It sounds like I have to move the slider slow. Maybe I have to go with continuous servo instead of standard servo.

They only recognize position commands. And in general they will try to get there as fast as possible.
