Arduino + servo motor test

[Shibu11229]

OK but you can do the same thing with a potentiometer and a motor (and a duck). So what else can u do with an arduino contolled motor? I know u caqn control it from a computer but can u program it to make the motor move a certain amount? Have you seen any videos tutorials on this?

[anders2006no]

Do you live in a powerplant or a factory or something?

Need some help here. I don't know anything about rc stuff but I want to make a pan&tilt system for my camera. How exactly is this done? Do I just need a potentiometer, a servo and some batteries? Help is very much appreciated.

latency?

[angelofdahud]

exactly how were you able to control the position of the servo with the knob? are you controlling the voltage? or is it the width of the pulse?

im assuming the knob is like a potentiometer.

@angelofdahud

rc servos are controlled by PWM - so its pulse. The Arduino has a servo driver in the Servo.h which you can include and get rid of the problem to write such a software on your own and debug it.

The knob is a potentiometer. Again the pro of the Arduino: it has analog I/O pins. To read them out is very easy as well. So: the project is quite easy but thats the great advantage of the Arduino.

@angelofdahud you must'n know much about arduino

I'm a beta tester for v2 of this kit. The duck scans the surrounding environment through 180 degrees. When an intruder is detected it has a burning CO2 laser head in its eyes. So far, it just brings hot burning death instantly, but in v3 you can activate an optional warning mode that will just amputate a finger or hand first as a warning, then if the intruder continues, hot burning death. The warning amputations are a legal requirement in some countries, before hot burning death mode activates.

@toranamunter I'd buy that...

nice duck...!

[ronin730]

Nice Duck!!

[d3str0y3rport]

do you have the schematic of the circuit??

[sinuju]

ey ey ey haw do you do this

[clubpenguin1help]

Stepper motor?

[heross7]

Servo

[ekajjjake]

wow FUCKHEAD r u retarded

[mic363]

poor duck

[BeeRich33]

It's just his ass. Nay worry.  All kitdashit needs is a use for a rotating quiet duck.

[legit9]

Is there some download ready code to read the pot A/D value and send it to the servo? or did you write this? if so would you share?

[jamieriddles]

it is one of the examples that come with the program.

although maybe it wasn't included when you wrote this (8 months ago lol)

how to get a servo to do a full 180 is hard to do , i can't get my servo to do a full 180!

[Xormithan]

most, but not all servos are capable of 180 degrees. if you're not getting 180, your pulswidth doesn't have a large enough variability. My servos go over 180 degrees if I give them a pulsewidth between 500 and 2600ms, which is fairly typical; you have to experiment to get it right so you don't put excess strain on the servo.

[phreakadelik]

lol thats kinda cute actually

[mechanisma22]

how do I control a servo with the arduino? I plan on using hacked servos for a robot drive.

[goobers87]

thats really nice to see- when i get my board, i've got loads of things in mind to do with it.
