  // Move servo motors to desired positions
  servo1.write(0);  // Move servo 1 to 0 degrees
  servo2.write(90);  // Move servo 2 to 90 degrees
  delay(1000);
  servo1.write(180);  // Move servo 1 to 180 degrees
  servo2.write(0);  // Move servo 2 to 0 degrees
  delay(1000);

# Set up GPIO pins as output
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(MOTOR_PIN_FORWARD, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(MOTOR_PIN_BACKWARD, GPIO.OUT)

try:
    while True:
        # Move the rod forward
        GPIO.output(MOTOR_PIN_FORWARD, GPIO.HIGH)
        time.sleep(2)
        GPIO.output(MOTOR_PIN_FORWARD, GPIO.LOW)
        
        # Move the rod backward
        GPIO.output(MOTOR_PIN_BACKWARD, GPIO.HIGH)
