  1. /* Servo and turnout control using a switch, button or control signal. This sketch is specially coded to prevent servo wag at the end of its travel. It was created by Gary Granai, steamtraininfo.com with the assistance of Jim Weisenbach, Seattle, Washington. Full documentation can be found at VVVVVVV.
