In this video we learn how to control 16 Sermo motors using PCA9685 PWM conroller with I2C
Thic code shows how to control specific servo motor for example if you want servo #3 to go to 120: pwm.setPWM(3, 0, angleToPulse(120) );
Servos are numbered from 0 to 15.

* This is the Arduino code PAC6985 16 channel servo controller
* watch the video for details (V1) and demo http://youtu.be/y8X9X10Tn1k
* This code is #2 for V2 Video Watch the video :https://youtu.be/bal2STaoQ1M
* I have got 3 codes as follow:
#1-Arduino Code to run one by one all servos from 0 to 180°
#2-Arduino Code to control specific servos with specific angle
#3-Arduino Code to run 2 or all servos at together
