Well here's some stuff which might start you off....
First have a look at this:
http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Sweep if you didn't already.
To have 5 servos (or should that be servoes? or servi?
) just repeat the
Servo myservo; line with lines like
Servo myservo3; etc and then have lines like
myservo3.attach and
myservo3.write.
Then have a look at the code below which shows how to read characters from your pc and act on what was keyed in. In this case I used the "h" and "H" to control an LED but that could be adapted to send writes to a particular servo. (It also echoes the received code back to the monitor so you can see it's reading the keystrokes correctly.)
char incomingByte; // for incoming serial data
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // opens serial port, sets data rate to 9600 bps
pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
}
void loop() {
// send data only when you receive data:
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
// read the incoming byte:
incomingByte = Serial.read();
// say what you got:
Serial.print("I received: ");
Serial.println(incomingByte);
}
if (incomingByte == 'h' || incomingByte == 'H')
{
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
}
else
{
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
}
}
Thanks for the post.... it's given me some ideas for some servo stuff I want to do...
