INPUT leaves the pin in a high impedance state and subject to noise unless an external pull-up/down resistor is added to the circuit.

INPUT_PULLUP, however, will have a weak pull-to-VCC resistor placed on the pad. Two potential issues are:

  1. Is "always 1" a valid, safe state for servo control inputs?
  2. What is the "typical" input impedance of a servo, and how does it compare to the (weak, can't seem to find the exact value) internal pullup?
stopWaveform(_pin);
_attached = false;
digitalWrite(_pin, LOW);
}
