Tutorial - Use an Arduino to control a Servo motor!

[Films4You]

Good, I'd like to view a video about the the power, (torque) of a low budget servo like this.

Also does it have any holding power, stop in a position with a weight on it?

@Films4You There are a lot of great small hobby servos out there- many with more torque than this. look for one with metal gears. yes, this absolutely has holding power with a weight on it - just not too much weight.  You can look up the torque specs online

@saunixcomp Thank You

@Films4You A Big Thank You; Added this video to my Robot and to my microprocessor PlayLists where servos can hele users

Questions:

Can I wire up multiple servos to a single arduino?

Can I program each servo motor to rotate a certain number of degrees when a button is pushed?

Can I have presets (multiple buttons) that make the servo(s) rotate a certain number of degrees?

Can I do all of the above with a single arduino?

@JohnFritzler 1) I think you can wire 2 servos to an Uno. More if you get creative. 2) Yes 3) Yes 4) Yes

Is there a link that we can get the code from, would really like to see the commands of how you control the servo in arduino. would really appreciate if you could post it.

Thanx

@Hancel88 arduino.cc or makezine's vids :D

have you seen my laser scanner and robotic arm made on the taig?

i have pics on taig usersgroup and my website, looks like we have been going down the same roads

Microchips pickit 2 or 3 is great if you want alot of support and is very easily integrated into microchips mplab plus you can code it with a free compiler by HI-Tech PICC Lite. this is what i use and am very happy!
