Correct it reads the values from the PID pins as well as the current 
file setting. You can change the values over and over until you are 
satisfied and only then write to file. So all the time it is reading and 
writing the PID pins. I think it is very important to not drop the 
tuning function as this is a very important function when working with 
servos.
