Arduino #9 - Servo Selection & Motion Control

In the ninth Arduino tutorial I briefly go over some of the uses of a common servo motor. A servo is used in applications which require a controlled range of motion and provide greater control than a regular DC motor.
Getting started with the Arduino servo library is extremely simple and should be easily accessible to anyone who is looking to get started with electronics.

Let me know if you have any questions and once again thank you for watching!

@1:07, they're called control arms. @1:54, ground is generally black or brown. center wire is always V+, usually red or orange, signal is usually white or yellow. If in doubt, search "datasheet" part number. ie 'datasheet mg995'. when vibrating on limit, back off limit till it stops vibrating, otherwise it's pulling more current than normal.

Just discovered your channel.It has really helped me with my project. Thank you

[bobsthea]

this is exactly what i'm looking for, thanks man

[jeffreyambayec]

Thanks man! This was my first time using one

The servo will draw a large current if it is not to sweep incrementally. This is important for certain batteries. although incremental sweeping limits the speed of the servo. The current spikes may be resolved by a capacitor circuit.

Good sir ..coding is seen clearly ..

[ThirdPeron]

Thanks, answered every question i had.

[dominicm]

Helpful, concise and fun video. Thanks for that!

[akshayd]

A good memory refresher! Very concise and neat. Well done!

[krishnanshudey]

Nice explanation. It will help me a lot in my future projects. Thanks you.

I enjoyed watching your clip. Two observations. In some instances the information was said too quickly and it was hard to discern the terminology and applications of the commands.

[sameerk]

Thank you very much for this informative tutorial....appreciated.

I think the brown or black wire is ground, the middle one + and the lightest one is the siginal bus.

Thanks bro
what is the maximum rotation angle range??

[TightEWhitey]

Thank you for the video! How do I download a servo library? I am very new to this

[RamakrishnaMak]

The servo is not stopping for the 180deg

[ilos]

Hi sir, what do i need to add in the code if I want to make the servo rotate in every 30 seconds?

[Enoch_The_Gent]

Did you connect the black and red to a power source or a drive board?

[jpbkk]

Great video, you should instruct your followers that 2 types of Servo exists: 360 deg CONTINUOUS AND THE OTHERS, a 360 deg continuous is NOT compatible with the kind of program you propose.thank you

Do you have any recommendations for really small servos? my project would involve a lot of them, and I'd prefer to have them be compact to keep the device small.
