Arduino Uno Servo Motor Control

This project demonstrates how to control a servo motor using an Arduino Uno. The servo motor sweeps back and forth between 0 to 180 degrees, showcasing basic servo motor control capabilities.

Components Needed

• Arduino UNO
• Servo Motor
• Jumper Wires

Hardware Wiring Explanation:

Connect the signal wire of the servo motor to digital pin 9 on the Arduino Uno.

Connect the power (VCC) and ground (GND) of the servo motor to the respective power and ground pins on the Arduino Uno or an external power supply.

Wire up the servo motor to the Arduino Uno as per the circuit setup section.

Software (Arduino IDE):

Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.

Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.

Upload the code to the Arduino Uno.

Project Operation

Open the serial monitor with a baud rate of 9600.

Observe the servo motor sweeping smoothly from 0 to 180 degrees and back.

Applications

Notes

Ensure the servo motor is powered adequately to handle its load and movement range.

Adjust the servo motor connections and code parameters for different ranges or specific angles as required.

Explore advanced servo motor functionalities such as continuous rotation servos or feedback-controlled servos for more sophisticated projects.
