The intention was to make a remotely controlled Flip-Flat type device for flats or otherwise a remotely controlled bahtinov mask. See here:

$35 shipped. Includes: controller, USB-power 5v cable, quality JR RC servo and strong CNC servo arms. I briefly tried the free program out. Works a charm, and I’m not not a computer/technical guy.. I just don’t have the time for these little projects at the moment...
“A free configuration and control program is available for Windows and Linux, making it simple to configure and test the device over USB, create sequences of servo movements for animatronics or walking robots, and write, step through, and run scripts stored in the servo controller. The Micro Maestro’s 1 KB of internal script memory allows storage of servo positions that can be automatically played back without any computer or external microcontroller connected.”
