pulseWidthRange = (500, 2500)
# Create a PWM object
pwm = GPIO.PWM(servoPin, freq)
# Set the initial angle (0 degrees)
pwm.start(0)
try:
    while True:
        # Move the servo to 45 degrees (rod will rotate 45 degrees)
        pwm.ChangeDutyCycle((45 / 180)  (pulseWidthRange[1] - pulseWidthRange[0]) + pulseWidthRange[0])
        time.sleep(1)
# Move the servo to -45 degrees (rod will rotate -45 degrees)
        pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(((-45) / 180)  (pulseWidthRange[1] - pulseWidthRange[0]) + pulseWidthRange[0])
