Raspberry pi controlling servo with dotnet

Question

Hello all i am trying control servo motor usiun dotnet and Unosquare.RaspberryIO librery. This is my code and whatever I pass to the PayTonemethod the motor rotates only in one direction and one speed. I am using Pi 4b and FeeTech FS90R motor. If anyone can help

using Unosquare.RaspberryIO;
using Unosquare.RaspberryIO.Abstractions;
using Unosquare.WiringPi;

namespace projectV2
{
    public class ServoController : BaseClass
    {
        public void Start()
        {
            Pi.Init<BootstrapWiringPi>();

            var pin = Pi.Gpio[12];
            pin = Pi.Gpio[BcmPin.Gpio12];
            pin.PinMode = GpioPinDriveMode.Output;

            System.Device.Pwm.Drivers.SoftwarePwmChannel buzzerPwm =
                new System.Device.Pwm.Drivers
                .SoftwarePwmChannel(12, 1600, 0.5, false, new System.Device.Gpio.GpioController(), false);

            var buzzer = new Iot.Device.Buzzer.Buzzer(buzzerPwm);

            buzzer.PlayTone(1000, 1000);

            Thread.Sleep(2000);

            buzzer.PlayTone(1500, 1000);

            Thread.Sleep(2000);

            buzzer.PlayTone(2000, 1000);

            buzzer.Dispose();

        }
    }
}

Now I try use System.Device.Gpio now my code looks like below. The code is executed to the end , but there no result to the gpio 12 (servo does not react )

using System;
using System.Device.Pwm;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Device.Gpio;

namespace projectV2
{
    public class ServoController : BaseClass
    {

        public async Task Test()
        {

            ServoMotor servoMotor = new ServoMotor(PwmChannel.Create(0, 0, 50, 0.5));

            servoMotor.Start();

            servoMotor.WritePulseWidth(1000);
            await Task.Delay(2000);

            servoMotor.WritePulseWidth(1500);
            await Task.Delay(2000);

            servoMotor.WritePulseWidth(2000);

            servoMotor.Stop();
        }
    }
}

The .NET library you are using is based on WiringPi which has been deprecated for almost 2 years. The Pi4 version of WiringPi was never released in source so it is unlikely the unofficial port in the library you are using is fully operational.

I believe there is a version based on pigpio which would be a better option.
