Common Connections:

  • Digital Servo Motor

    • GND: Connect to GND on the Arduino.

    • VCC: Connect to 5V on the Arduino.

    • I/O: Connect to 9 on the Arduino.

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.

  • Don’t 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);
}
