Introduction to Servos
This project serves as the fundamental stepping stone for anyone wanting to move from static LEDs to mechanical motion. A Servo Motor (specifically the SG90 micro-servo) is different from a regular DC motor because it can move to a precise angle (usually between 0 and 180 degrees) and hold that position.
How it Works
The Arduino controls the servo using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Luckily, we don't need to manually calculate the pulse widths; we use the built-in Servo library which handles the timing for us.
Circuit Setup
The wiring is extremely straightforward and requires only three connections:
- Red (VCC): Connect to Arduino 5V.
- Brown/Black (GND): Connect to Arduino GND.
- Orange/Yellow (Signal): Connect to a PWM-capable digital pin (usually pin 9).
Basic Code Logic
To control the servo, you simply include the library, create a servo object, and use the write() command:
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
void setup() {
myservo.attach(9);
}
void loop() {
myservo.write(90); // Move to 90 degrees
delay(1000);
myservo.write(0); // Move to 0 degrees
delay(1000);
}
Applications
Once you master this basic movement, you can apply it to:
- Robotic Arms: Gripping and moving objects.
- Automated Gates: Opening or closing a small model garage.
- Gauges: Using the servo to move a dial pointer for temperature or speed.
- RC Vehicles: Steering control for cars or rudder control for boats.
This simple "Servo Basic" project is the foundation for all mechanical robotics projects following later.
