Here, the S3003 Servo Motor is used for the purpose of interfacing. It can turn to a predetermined position. In general, the servo arm rotates 180 degree. With the help of ardiuno programming, we can tell the servo to go to the required position.
Servo motor being a combination of the DC motor, control system and gears, its position can be adjusted by the control electronics in the servo. The adjustment is done based on the duty ratio of the PWM signal. This data, regarding position of shaft is sent through the SIGNAL pin. The position data to the control should be sent in the form of PWM signal through the Signal pin of servo motor.
Step1: Procure Components Required
Step2: Write the program in Arduino UNO IDE.
In this program the servo motor is made to rotate clockwise (0? to 180?) and anticlockwise (180? to 0?) using Arduino programming. In MEP_ROBO UNO board there are three PWM options to connect the servo motor. Here, the servo is attached to pin 9.
Step3: Connecting the motor with MEP_ROBO UNO board.
Figure1: Connection Diagram
Step4: Connect USB cable to the board. Upload the program.
Step5: Download the program to the board.
Step6: Check the Output
The output will be a motor rotating clockwise (0? to 180?) and anticlockwise (180? to 0?).
