L1 on Prop Protoboard

Looks like I connected something wrong and fried a little 1uH inductor on an otherwise perfect protoboard. I can't seem to find a replacement for the component.
What does that do for the circuit?

I'm curious to hear what others have to say about this. How useful is the inductor in this application? Is it worth the bother and expense to replace it?
Should we be using inductors when using servos on other Propeller boards?
