Now that the servo controller is connected ,you can use some software provided by Pololu to control the servos. This is done just to make sure you have everything hooked up correctly, and to set the controller's setting. Unfortunately, the software won't run on the Raspberry Pi; you'll need to do this using your personal computer.
