Penguin Servo Calibration Companion

This program is handy for quick Penguin checks
on calibration. I use it on my three Penguin robots
to do a quick check on the the status of each.
It's also very helpful when writing new motion
control code. It's compatible with other programs
in my penguin_suite.

    Just an add-note to the post. You can actually view the home positions of both servos with this code and then determine if further calibration is required. Due to use, there are changes that result with Penguin and new calibration fine tuning may be helpful.
