*   This file contains the implementation of the class methods, incorporated in the         *
*   uStepperServo Arduino library. The library is used by instantiating an uStepperServo    *
*   object by calling either of the two overloaded constructors:                            *
*                                                                                           *

*   The servo pulse widths are normally around 500 us for 0 deg and 2500 us for 180 deg.    *
*   The default values in this library are 1472 and 2400 us - giving a work area of         *
*   ~90-180deg. These values can be redefined to fit your servos specifications by calling  *
*    the setMaximumPulse and SetMinimumPulse functions. However, because of running the     *
*    stepper algorithm simultaniously with the servo, there is a risk of twitching if       *
*    using lower values than the 1500 us.                                                   *

*   To apply the pulses to the attached servos, the refresh function should be called       *
*   periodically at a rate of 20-50 Hz, i.e. every 50-20 ms. Calling the function more      *
*   often than every 20 ms is not a problem for the servo library.                          *
