Please see the video below for more details. Now let’s take a look at the Arduino code for controlling the servo motor.
You can see that the servo motor is rotating as per the program. Wire the circuit properly as per the circuit diagram and upload the program. Once it reaches 180 degree, it is programmed to rotate back to 10 degree step by step with a delay of 15 milliseconds in the second for loop.In the first for loop, motor shaft is rotated from 10 degrees to 180 degrees step by step with a time delay of 15 milliseconds.The position of the shaft is kept at 10 degrees by default and the Servo PWM input is connected to the 3rd pin of the Arduino Uno. In this project, you will use the servo motor library that comes with the Arduino IDE to start playing with your mini servo motor. The following code will turn a servo motor to 0 degrees, wait 1 second, then turn it to 90, wait one more second, turn it to 180, and then go.The PWM input pin (Yellow Color) of the Servo Motor is connected to the PWM output pin of the Arduino board.The GND pin (Brown Color) of the Servo Motor is connected to the GND pin of the Arduino Board.The LCD interfaced with Arduino display each present servo position from 0 to 180.
The VCC pin (Red Color) of the Servo Motor is connected to the 5V output of the Arduino Board. The servo motor follows the position change in the knob and so we can rotate the servo in clockwise or counterclockwise by rotating the wiper of the potentiometer.

However this torque varies with supply voltage. We send the command to servo as it reaches to the commanded value it stops there. In the first, we include the Servo Library to control servo.Then we create an Object named servo_control, initialize angle variable with 0 and declare Potentiometer Output Pin A0.In the setup function, we specify the servo signal pin i.e 9 in our case. The servo motor used here has 17 Kg-cm torque (This is its max. Servo motor rotate from 0 degree to 180degree. Servo motors have a built in feedback circuitry which helps to find the position of servo axis, this gives accurate movements of the axis.Servos can be used to control movements of robots like arms, legs or to rotate objects e.g Spider Bot where Arduino control servo motor for the leg movements of a spider.Servo motor requires PWM signal i.e Pulse width Modulation Signal for controlling the position of the shaft so we need to use one of the PWM pins of the Arduino.PWM pins are marked by a ‘~’ character.Here we are going to use the D9 pin of Arduino UNO.So let’s start.ĭ9 << Servo Signal Pin (Yellow/White wire) In this article, we will control servo motor angle using Potentiometer with Arduino UNO.
