Arduino multiple servo's the simple way

A simple way to control multiple servos, for inexperienced people to get animatronics etc going. Full source code is below

Updated code with full sequence control and homing control
See version 3

Just by watching this video for a short time, you have helped me so so so so much with my project, thank you immensely!

It's nice to hear a Kiwi explaining this!

This has been the most usefull thing I've seen on the net today; just what I was after. Many thanks.

To avoid the start jump that servos have when you turn on the power, try to first give 5V to signal pin, then power the servo, it worked for me.

is there no PCA 9685 at this time ?

[ChristoCJ]

thanks bro, finally I found way to this, thanks a lot

[adioooo]

answer to all my questions, thank you!

Hello The link in the description isn't working, I loved the video and I'm hoping it'll helped further my knowledge of servo control

[pasternakjdp]

Thanks so much for this absolutely brilliant. You say the source code is below but it doesn't seem to be, is it still available? Thanks again

[DJMovit]

This is awesome! Thanks for posting it! I have been wanting to make a 3 axis Halloween Skull and now I am one step closer. Now I need to build the platform and movements. I hope to tweak your code to get the head to move loft to right, and and down and hopefully tilt.
Thanks again for sharing it I greatly appreciate it.

Great video, trying to get the source code but the link no longer works. Is it available from somewhere else?👍

HI. I want to program 4 to 6 servos to do stuff individually. I have a servo driver pca9685. Im trying to make something with these motors and a couple of lights and sound. I do not want batteries. I want to be able to plug this thing in the wall with only one cord not 2. Looks like though I need 2 seperate power supplies. I cant find anything online. Something I buy? A hack? Thanks

Thank you thank you thank you! Froma complete novice you've helped me gain knowledge. I have some questions. I'm making an xwing and want the wings to open up and r2d2's head to swivel. I used your servo version one code and I want to add more positions. Thanks to you my servo is moving 10° and back to close but I want it to hold in the 10°position for a few seconds before it closes again, also i want it so start off slow, speed up and slow before it gets to 10° everything i try to add more steps the the animation it doesn't work and I'm not sure why

Hey mate, I tried to get access to the code you made available but the link wouldn't work. iS there any way you could make a new link?. Cheers

[katalinkristof]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial! May I ask some beginner question here? Does it damage the servos if they hold the position for a longer time? Why I'm asking: I am about to program a robot owl, and it should ideally hold a particular position after a movement is done. If I simply detach the servos, gravity would do its job. (Your cat is so cute!!)

[chriskiepfer]

is there a source for the code, the link does not work?

[CustomdPrintingU]

I really appreciate the tutorial. I now have 4 servos wired up but I want to make it to where when i click the button then the code is executed and then returned to home position before executing the rotation. Can you help me?

[JohnBaxterWalker]

Probably a daft newbie question. I have loaded the INI file into the Arduino. Where do I add/use the servo0/1/2 CPP and servos H file ?

[alfiechenery]

Very well explained. Although could you explain the circuit wiring. I can assume how the servos are attached to PWM pins, but I notice a capacitor there. What is it for and how exactly is it wired, and is it essential or is it just like a protection thing

[ianmoon]

Would you be kind enough to upload the code again please as the link does not work. thank you
