Control Servo Motor with Arduino- Complete Guide

Let’s learn how to control servo motor with Arduino. we’ll cover working principle of servo motor, interfacing and programming of Arduino to precisely control the position of servo shaft. We’ll be using regular or position servo which can rotate 180 degrees in either direction.

Beautifully explained!

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Sayed, Glad you liked it

❤❤this is too good

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed this Servo motor interfacing with Arduino video lesson. Best wishes!

[@kemaketseforkssebitiela3089]

Sure

[@iamindian6727]

Hello sir,
I've been following your videos for the past few weeks, Can you make a video on which microcontroller to use for industrial machines, For Example if there are 4-5 Ac servo Motors and more than 3 actuators in a single machine.

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi I'd surely make videos on suggested topics on how or what microcontroller will suit for 4-5 AC operated industrial servo and 3-actuators to control. I believe you can consider ATmega328 AVR since its easy to program using Arduino IDE. And if you're PRO user and have prior experience in programming then STM32F1 series is also good as it also support plenty of PWM pins to drive servo and actuators. I hope this may help. Good luck and best wishes!

​@@BINARYUPDATES Thank you!,
Sir my kind request to you is, Please make an online course on how to design custom control boards for various projects and what are the things to be noted before designing.
As it helps and inspires many aspiring engineers like me.

Is it necessary to use delay after servo.write?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Yash, it will work even without delay but then Servo motor will move fast. You can change Arduino code and try and experiment at your side. It will be more of a fun. Good luck and best wishes!

i have few questions and hopefull u will answer passionately.
1. i want to use dc motor to motorise my balcony sun-shade which is horizantal to earth, so which motor should i use?
2. How to run it for specific distance, for example i want to run it to cover 5 meters of distance, bcoz i dont want to run it for too long or too short, so can we run a dc motor for specific distance or number of turns?
3. Is it necessary to use feedback switch so when it reaches to specific distance it will be off autoamtically, or we can run it for specific distance using programming?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi you can use Servo Motor, there are motorized sliders you can buy for curtains. These are usually more like a horizontal sliders. You can use with Servo mechanism to precisely control the shaft and movement around horizontal space. Please consider learning about some home automation projects like curtains control or similar. Good luck and best wishes!

@@BINARYUPDATES how about making a video tutorial on this project?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

As it involve lots of moving components. Maybe someday in future when I'll have time. I may make video to to create similar use case around Servo Motor to control horizontal movement of shaft.
