Writing the Code
Note
You can copy this code into Arduino IDE.
To install the library, use the Arduino Library Manager and search for Servo and install it.
Donβt forget to select the board(Arduino UNO R4 WIFI) and the correct port before clicking the Upload button.
#include <Servo.h>
const int servoPin = 9; // Define the servo pin
int angle = 0; // Initialize the angle variable to 0 degrees
Servo servo; // Create a servo object
void setup() {
servo.attach(servoPin);
}
void loop() {
// scan from 0 to 180 degrees
for (angle = 0; angle < 180; angle++) {
servo.write(angle);
delay(15);
}
delay(1000);
// now scan back from 180 to 0 degrees
for (angle = 180; angle > 0; angle--) {
servo.write(angle);
delay(15);
}
delay(1000);
}
