Orient raspi board so the usb ports are at the bottom. Count raspi pin# from right to left and top to down. Put the servo red line to pin2, brown line to pin9, orange line to pin11.
Example Code:
# Set up libraries and overall settings
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO # Imports the standard Raspberry Pi GPIO library
from time import sleep # Imports sleep (aka wait or pause) into the program
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) # Sets the pin numbering system to use the physical layout--
# Set up pin 11 for PWM
GPIO.setup(11,GPIO.OUT) # Sets up pin 11 to an output (instead of an input)
p = GPIO.PWM(11, 50) # Sets up pin 11 as a PWM pin
p.start(0) # Starts running PWM on the pin and sets it to 0
# Move the servo back and forth
p.ChangeDutyCycle(3) # Changes the pulse width to 3 (so moves the servo)
sleep(1) # Wait 1 second
p.ChangeDutyCycle(12) # Changes the pulse width to 12 (so moves the servo)
sleep(1)
# Clean up everything
p.stop() # At the end of the program, stop the PWM
GPIO.cleanup() # Resets the GPIO pins back to defaultsReference: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/grandpa-scarer/4
