servo.py
The servo on the header obeys a Python function: the library translates angle into 50 Hz PWM on the 32U4's timer. The PC adds what Arduino cannot: camera, AI, database.
Hardware required
A LattePanda 3 Delta (x86 Intel N5105, Windows 10/11 or Ubuntu) with its Arduino-compatible co-processor (ATmega32U4) wired to the two 50-pin headers. 1 SG90 servo + external 5 V supply (never the header 5 V beyond a micro servo).
Wiring
Signal on the 50-pin header's D9, + to the external supply, grounds common (header GND tied to the supply's).
How it works
Pin.PWM_OCR configures the MCU's hardware timer; the angle function converts degrees → duty cycle. The serial bridge adds ~1 ms, invisible to the mechanics. Host side: pip install pinpong then python3. MCU side: the ATmega32U4 shows up as a COM port — program it with the Arduino IDE (« Arduino Leonardo » board).
Going further
Face-tracking servo with OpenCV (the real point of the x86+MCU duo).
