The Microsoft Makecode editor allows you to switch between block and JS, which can help with this.

How do I wire this correctly so I can control the servo with the microcontroller?
1 project | /r/AskElectronics | 4 Mar 2023

I was using https://makecode.microbit.org/ to write the code, and I was using a servo library from there to set the positions. As I wrote in a different answer in here, that worked perfectly with the SG90, full range and full control, but the MG90D locked itself in the starting position no matter what positions I tried.
