I just downloaded ard 17 and according to the ard website the servo command now can control 12 servo's on the non-mega versions. Does this mean that "#include <servo.h>" gives you the 12 servo capability or am I missing something? Also, does the 17 version automatically take care of servo refresh? Obviously a newby so thanks for any clarification.
Welcome to Arduino.
Yes, "#include <servo.h>" gives you the 12 servo capability
servo refresh is done by the library so the sketch does not need to handle this.
have fun!
