Servo Motor Programming Guide

The document provides an overview of servo motors, including their types and basic functionality for controlling rotation angles. It includes several code examples in C++ demonstrating how to use the Servo library to rotate a servo motor at specified angles using different programming constructs like loops and functions. Additionally, it explains the behavior of the servo when given a negative angle input.

Servo

❖ Servo motor:
✓ Give order to rotate with a specific angle.
✓ We can use it to rotate our robot.
✓ There are different types of servo like:
o Nano
o Sub-micro
o Micro
o Standard
o Large
✓ Servo have 3 gats
1- ground
2- power
3- signal (pin)
❖ make servo rotate with angle 90:
#include<Servo.h>
Servo s;
void setup()
{
[Link](13);
}
void loop()
{
[Link](90); }
✓ #include<Servo.h> => we will call servo libarary.
✓ Servo s => create an object from Servo library to
work on it.
✓ [Link](13) => to connect the servo with pin to work on,
the pin number is 13
✓ [Link](30) => give an order to make the servo rotate
with angle 30.

❖ make a function to rotate the servo with a different angle:


#include<Servo.h>
Servo s;
void setup()
{
[Link](13);
}
void loop()
{
rotate(30);
rotate(90);
}
void rotate(int angle){
[Link](angle);
delay(1000);
}
❖ make the servo rotate with 10 angle foreach 1 seconed using for
loop:
#include<Servo.h>
Servo s;
void setup()
{
[Link](13);
}
void loop()
{
for(int i = 0; i<=180 ; i+= 10){
rotate(i);
}
}
void rotate(int angle){
[Link](angle);
delay(1000);
}
❖ make the servo rotate with 10 angle foreach 1 second until reach
180 angle using for loop and return back to zero point:
#include<Servo.h>
Servo s;
void setup()
{
[Link](13);
}
void loop()
{
for(int i = 0; i<=180 ; i+= 10){
rotate(i);
}
delay(2000);
for(int i = 180; i>=0 ; i-= 10){
rotate(i);
}
}
void rotate(int angle){
[Link](angle);
delay(1000);
}
❖ make the last example but with while and do-while loops:
#include<Servo.h>
Servo s;
void setup()
{
[Link](13);
}

void loop()
{
int i = 0;
while(i<=180){
rotate(i);
i+=10;

}
delay(2000);
do{
rotate(i);
i-=10;
}while(i>=0);
}

void rotate(int ang){


[Link](ang);
delay(500);
}
❖ use a return function to make the servo rotate with 45 angle each
time until it reach 180:
#include<Servo.h>
Servo s;
int i =0;
void setup()
{
[Link](13);
}
void loop()
{
int a1 = rotate();
[Link](a1);
delay(500);
}

int rotate(){
i = i+45;
return i;
}
❖ if we use negative angle:
#include<Servo.h>
Servo s;
void setup()
{
[Link](13);
}
void loop()
{
[Link](-50);
}
✓ nothing will happen..
✓ as the program will work with it as it is a zero angle !!
