from transmitter, and it stops rotation when the radio input is returned to a neutral position or
STELLA reaches its configured maximum angle.
STELLA rotates to a certain angle from the radio input. When the input is at a neutral position,
STELLA returns to the initial position.
STELLA rotates 90 deg, aiming GoPro to the ground or vertically to the sky.
