Use Python to add Multiple Servos to Your Self-watering Plant

The project can be run as a group activity, with one person programming the first micro:bit and their lab partner programming the second micro:bit. Alternatively, one person could program both micro:bits by having separate code in tabs within mu or Thonny editors.
