this is the code is V1 to controll one or more servos using PCA6895. Modify it so it is used for your purpose. This code have a mappting methode so you enter your desired angle and it will convert it to appropriate pulse width. you will use pwm.setPWM(servo_number, 0, angleToPulse(angle) );
replace servo_number with the connector number like 0 ,2, up to 15 and the pulse is the value between 150 to 600 in this example. The angle is the a value between 0 to 180 degrees.

this is the code to controll one or more servos using PCA6895. Modify it so it is used for your purpose. This code doesn't give you the option of selecting angle. you will enter the pulse width in the method pwm.setPWM(servo_number, 0, pulse );
replace servo_number with the connector number like 0 ,2, up to 15 and the pulse is the value between 150 to 600 in this example.
