Connecting the servo motor to the arduino.
Arduino servo motor controller.
The goal of this project is to intro.
Allows arduino genuino boards to control a variety of servo motors.
In this tutorial an arduino board will be used to power and control a small servo motor.
The darkest or even black one is usually the ground.
The library can control 12 servos using only 1 timer.
One is for power 5volts ground and the white wire is the control wire.
You can also see the 3 wires that connect to the outside world.
Connect the power cable that in all standards should be red to 5v on the arduino.
Working of a servo motor.
The servo expects one pulse every 20 ms.
On the arduino due you can control up to 60 servos.
As a result s ervo motors are used to control the position of objects rotate objects move legs arms or hands of robots move sensors etc.
Connect this to the arduino gnd.
You can see the control circuitry the motor a set of gears and the case.
Because servo motors use feedback to determine the position of the shaft you can control that position very precisely.
The servo motor has a female connector with three pins.
Following are the steps to connect a servo motor to the arduino.
For most servos a 1 ms pulse results in a zero degree rotation a 1 5 ms pulse results in a 90 degree rotation and a 2 ms pulse results in a 180 degree rotation.
It makes careful use of timers.
This library can control a great number of servos.
You can connect small servo motors directly to an arduino to control the shaft position very precisely.
