Arduino Starter Kit - Project 5 - Mood Cue

Control A Servo Motor Through A Potentiometer 

Servo motors are a special type of motor that don’t spin around in a circle, but
move to a specific position and stay there until you tell them to move again.
Servos usually only rotate 180 degrees (one half of a circle).

Servo motors expect a number of pulses that tell them what angle to move to.

  • A servo motor is a special type of motor that doesn't spin around in a circle, but moves to a specific position and stays there. Servos usually only rotate 180 degrees.
  • The potentiometer is a voltage divider packaged in one component
  • project video is available and an Instructables tutorial
The header pins for the server motor did not connect correctly so I used jumper leads.
