Multiple Servo Control with Arduino Uno R3

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use multi-servo with Arduino. We will control 4 servo motors with Arduino PWM outputs.You can implement your robotic arm projects with reference to this tutorial. Of course we will use external battery / power when doing this.

In the next tutorial, I'll show you how to use multiple servos with potentiometers. Do not forget to subscribe. Thank you for your support.

I did not share the code because it is short and it varies according to the number of servos. You can write code by watching the tutorial. This is a better way to learn. I will continue to share long and complex codes.

Required Hardware
Arduino Board:
Servo Motor x4 :
Wires :
Breadboard :

Recommended Items:

Connections:
The external battery VCC / GND connect to the breadboard.
The Arduino GND connect to the breadboard's GND input
The servo connections we use in this project are as follows;

Orange Input - Signal Input
Red Input - Power Input (VCC)
Brown Input - Ground Input(GND)

The Servo1 VCC and GND connect to the breadboard's VCC / GND inputs
The Servo1 Signal connect to the Arduino Digital PWM 3
The Servo2 VCC and GND connect to the breadboard's VCC / GND inputs
The Servo2 Signal connect to the Arduino Digital PWM 5
The Servo3 VCC and GND connect to the breadboard's VCC / GND inputs
The Servo3 Signal connect to the Arduino Digital PWM 6
The Servo4 VCC and GND connect to the breadboard's VCC / GND inputs
The Servo4 Signal connect to the Arduino Digital PWM 9

Thank you Mert, I was able to realize I had a few fried microservos in the bunch.

[TehnoVito]

This video helped my a lot in my robotic learninng proces. Good job!

[recepselimagrman]

I can't believe such important point is missed there, those servos (SG90s) are rated at 4.8V-6.0V absolute ratings. 9V is way pushing it. This might (probably will) fry the motors!

[CobraEditx]

as i can see all the motors are moving in a same direction but I want the each motor to rotate different directions is possible

[Racerr]

Are you able to make each servo move independently of each other with this method? Or will they always be in sync

[govorilegko]

I love your videos so much
(those comments and descriptions to the code)
thank you

[nihalkeetha]

I always wanted to know how do we control multiple servos with arduino now u did that

[saadaljurais]

Thank you so much. I have 3 important questions
1) Is this connection series or parallel?
2) If i have 5 servo motors (MG996R) and I want to use (Battery) what is the value of voltage and current that i need to apply so it works very well and there will be no damage ?
3) Do i have to care more about the current or voltage, so they can run ?

[sultansrv]

exactly what i was looking for !! im using 3 of the same servo motor and 1 a bit larger with metal casing. im gonna try this now. thanks.

[muhammadyezabaihaqi]

why do you use 9v? As I know mini servo maximum voltage is 5v

[mariobaracus]

You helped me alot understanding how to do this without friying any servo, im using expensive ones so it would be bad to frie them

[leandro]

thanks for the video, and thanks to the mute option too

[Foxionos]

could you tell me how i could make these run on different speeds (delays)

[Cavi]

Isn't 9V a bit too much for these micro servos?

[fawzibryankairouani]

How can you make them run all at the same time, but each one at a different frequency and a different duty cycle?

For example, the first one would do 0 to 45deg back and forth while the second one is doing 0 to 90deg and the third one 0 to 180deg back and forth.

I really enjoyed this video alot it was simple and I'm super glad you commented oh what the program does I'm a novice when it comes to this so it was great and easy to follow thanks alot

[unglaubichuberlieber]

good tutorial, thanks !!! one question, if these servos were attached via a shield like l298n/vnh2sp30
what needs to be changed ???
thanks for you attention

[AliRaza-kuio]

my first video to learn about arduino coding for servo motors :) great work man.. liked and subscribed.. ☺

[MakerDan]

You haven't shown how the Arduino gets power. Can you explain that?
thanks,

[Kipyminyman]

Oh my goodness, you are a life saver, thank you!
