   Servo Sweep - by Nathaniel Gallinger

   Sweep servos one degree step at a time with a user defined
   delay in between steps.  Supports changing direction 
   mid-sweep.  Important for applications such as robotic arms
   where the stock servo speed is too fast for the strength
   of your system.
