Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but there is a RaspberrySharp class for this pwm driver:

and here an example of how to use it:

see also examples included in HG->Programs/RaspberryPi section for getting an idea of how to use RaspberrySharp in HG programs.

But via HG to set different possitions of the servo.

so i can set it in different possitions depending of how warm the house is. ..
