How to control a servo motor with an ESP32 development board

When I try to reuse the Ardunio Sketch to control a servo motor with a ESP8266, I encountered the following error during compile time:

WARNING: library Servo claims to run on (avr, sam, samd, nrf52, stm32f4) architecture(s) and may be incompatible with your current board which runs on (esp32) architecture(s).

#error “This library only supports boards with an AVR, SAM, SAMD, NRF52 or STM32F4 processor.”
^
exit status 1
Error compiling for board ESP32 Dev Module.

Therefore, I had to find another way to control my SG90 servo motor with an ESP32 development board.

Given that, this post shows how to control a servo motor with an ESP32 development board.

How to control a SG90 servo motor with the ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA Development Board

When you are looking to operate remote-controlled or radio-controlled toy cars, robots and airplanes, you will need to use servo motors.

Since the ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA Development Board is cost efficient for IOT solutions, it can be used for controlling servo motors.

So how can we control a servo motor with the ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA Development Board?

This post discusses how we can control the SG90 servo motor, with the ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA Development Board.
