Your welcome , In my head i see the servos waving a small [lite]flag on my planned activity board ,like Happy Canada Day, happy B-day ect ect ,lol

Have fun, lots of cool stuff to be done with them. The continuous rotation ones can be used like motors etc to drive wheels. They are good for very accurate speed control etc.

This one, without the module, should work with that card, https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pan-tilt-hat I think you can get just the plastic bits with no servo's at Adafruit?

I had looked at that pan tilt a few time,I will check adafruit

Just found it, only 5 bucks or so, but out of stock. https://www.adafruit.com/product/1968 May as well get the one with the servos anyway. That way you know for sure they will fit and work. If you plan on buying one that is?

That's interesting, Adafruit makes the pan tilt part and Pimorni make the Hat controller board. First time I've seen something like that. Cool,

Pimoroni sells some of his stuff, Micro Bit stuff mostly. I have that site bookmarked, haven't seen anything I really like yet. Not enough to actually buy it anyway.

Found this today while googling how to control a servo on a Pi, http://rpi.science.uoit.ca/ Some good info there. Worth a look see IMHO.
It looks like UOIT is University of Ontario Institute of Technology
