In order for the Milky Monster to move, the @boardname@ needs to command the servo to go between ``0`` and ``180`` degrees at a certain pace. In the code below:
- the user pressed button ``A`` to switch the servo to 180 degrees (to close the mouth of Milky Monster).
- the user pressed button ``B`` to switch the servo to 0 degrees (to open the mouth of Milky Monster).
- Press button ``A`` to switch the servo to 180 degrees (to close the mouth of Milky Monster).

In this project, a **voter** program is loaded onto a player's @boardname@. The player uses the buttons to vote either``yes`` or ``no``

Assuming button ``A`` is no and ``B`` is yes, the voter program works as follows:
Assuming button ``A`` is for a NO vote and ``B`` is for YES, the voter program works like this:
