Servo control message.

Normalised output setpoint for up to 8 servos.
Published by the vehicle's allocation and consumed by the actuator output drivers.

**TOPICS:** actuator_servos

## Fields

| Name             | Type         | Unit [Frame] | Range/Enum | Description                                                                                                                                                |

| control          | `float32[8]` |              | [-1 : 1]   | Normalized output. 1 means maximum positive position. -1 maximum negative position (if not supported by the output, <0 maps to NaN). NaN maps to disarmed. |

## Constants
