SERVO motor interface

Little theory
• Servo Motors are used where there is a need for
accurate shaft movement or position.
• Not proposed for high speed applications. These are
proposed for low speed, medium torque and accurate
position application.
• These motors are used in robotic arm machines, flight
controls and control systems.
• A servo motor is a combination of DC motor, position control system,
gears.
• The position of the shaft of the DC motor is adjusted by the control
electronics in the servo, based on the duty ratio of the PWM signal the
SIGNAL pin.
• Simply speaking the control electronics adjust shaft position by controlling
DC motor. 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.
 Servo commands
• servo.attach(pin)
Attach the Servo variable to a pin.
• servo.write(angle)
Writes a value to the servo, controlling the shaft accordingly.
• servo.writeMicroseconds(uS)
Writes a value in microseconds (uS) to the servo, controlling the shaft
accordingly.
• servo.read()
Read the current angle of the servo (the value passed to the last call to
write()).
• servo.attached()
Check whether the Servo variable is attached to a pin.
• servo.detach()
Detach the Servo variable from its pin.

Connection with arduino
 Test program 1
• Go to FILES -> Examples -> servo-> Sweep
 Test program 2
• // Include the Servo library
• #include <Servo.h>
• // Declare the Servo pin
• int servoPin = 9;
• // Create a servo object
• Servo Servo1;
• void setup()
• {
• // We need to attach the servo to the used pin number
• Servo1.attach(servoPin);
• }
• void loop()
• {
• // Make servo go to 0 degrees
• Servo1.write(0);
• delay(1000);
• // Make servo go to 90 degrees
• Servo1.write(90);
• delay(1000);
• // Make servo go to 180 degrees
• Servo1.write(180);
• delay(1000);
• }
 Test program 3
#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo

int potpin = 0; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer
int val; // variable to read the value from the analog pin

void setup()
{
myservo.attach(7); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}

void loop()
{
val = analogRead(potpin); // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and
1023)
val = map(val, 0, 1023, 0, 179); // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)
myservo.write(val); // sets the servo position according to the scaled value
delay(15); // waits for the servo to get there

Bluetooth interface
• Arduino Pins Bluetooth Pins
• RX (Pin 0) ———-> TX
• TX (Pin 1) ———-> RX
• 5V ———-> VCC
• GND ———-> GND

• Connect a LED negative to GND of arduino and

positive to pin 13 with a resistance valued
between 220Ω – 1KΩ. And your done with the
circuit
schematic
• Pair your device with HC
05/06 Bluetooth module1) Turn ON HC
05/06 Bluetooth module2) Scan for available
device3) Pair to HC 05/06 by entering default
password 1234 OR 0000
• Install LED application on your android device
• Open the Application
• Press paired devices
• Select your Bluetooth module from the
List (HC 05
• After connecting successfully
• Press ON button to turn ON LED and OFF
button to turn OFF LED
