The last week I have been working on trying to understand an issue I was having using the Arduino IDE . I use Earle's board manger for uploading the sketches to my Raspberry Pi Pico & cytron maker pi board. But I was only ever getting about 90 degrees of movement of the SG90 servo.

The issue I was having took some digging to get the solution as can be seen in the video.

It was the help of Earle That I got it sorted in the end.
