Unit #2-05

Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• control a servo motor from your Arduino

Review

• single LED on breadboard

Lesson

• watch this video, "Arduino Tutorial: Using a Servo SG90 with Arduino"

• servos are little motors that DO NOT turn continuously (usually) but move back and forth

  • for example moving a rudder on a toy plane or boat

Activity

• create the first program that moves the servo to 90° and back to 0°

Daily Assignment

• create the second program that moves the servo through 180° and then back again

Extra

• if you finish early, write the above program on your CircuitPython board

  • there is no RP2040 in TinkerCad, so you can not do this part!

  • this might help
