Week 9 – Journal – Sweep Example
Servo Motros
Objective
Setup servo to Arduino and have perform tasks from Arduino program
Materials
Arduino Board
Servo Motor
Jumper Cable
USB Cable
Computer
Arduino Software
Procedure
1. Power Arduino by plugging usb cable into computer and Arduino
2. Configure Arduino software to work with board (select usb serial port and choose Arduino being used in software)
3. Connect servo motor to Arduino using jumper cable (black cable – Ground pin, red cable – 5v pin, yellow cable – pin 9
4. Load sweep application in software and upload it into Arduino
5. Modify Code
Results
The servo motor began reacting to the program loaded into the Arduino board. We then changed the degree of rotation and the delay which the servo motor responded to when the program was loaded into the board.
