PComp Lab: Servo Motor Control with an Arduino

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

In this Lab, our goal was to control a servomotor’s position using the value returned from an analog sensor; after preparing the sensor (left image) and programming Arduino, I still couldn’t get the full range motion for servo; after using map() function got range of 130 - 540 (right image); you can see the difference in this video.img_1302

PComp Lab: Digital Input and Output with an Arduino
