+ * @brief Initialize a servo motor by assigning it a PWM device and channel

+ * Digital servos are controlled by regular pulses sent to them. The width
+ * of a pulse determines the position of the servo. A pulse width of 1.5ms
+ * puts the servo in the center position, a pulse width of about 1.0ms and
+ * about 2.0ms put the servo to the maximum angles. These values can however
+ * differ slightly from servo to servo, so the min and max values are
+ * parameterized in the init function.
+ *
+ * The servo is initialized with fixed PWM values:
+ * - frequency: 100Hz (10ms interval)
+ * - resolution: 10000 (1000 steps per ms)
+ *
+ * Caution: When initializing a servo, the PWM device will be reconfigured to
+ * new frequency/resolution values. It is however fine to use multiple servos
+ * with the same PWM device, just on different channels.
