I’m new to Arduino and need a lot of help with what I’m trying to do.
For a class project I want to construct a monster (Halloween style animations). I want to rig the head with a PIR sensor (two preferably to react to both sides of the room) to rotate 45 degrees in the direction of motion.
I think I understand how I’m suppose to code it but I’m not trying them correctly.
I’ve been reading a lot of tutorials and get some parts right but then destroy others.
This is where am at so far:
// Sweep
// by BARRAGAN <http://barraganstudio.com>
// This example code is in the public domain.
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
for(pos = 0; pos < 45; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
{ // in steps of 1 degree
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in
// variable 'pos'
delay(50); // waits 50ms for the servo to reach
// the position
}
for(pos = 45; pos>=1; pos-=1) // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
{
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in
// variable 'pos'
delay(50); // waits 50ms for the servo to reach
// the position
}
}
I also need it to pause a few seconds before returning to the original position.
Can someone please help me code it properly.
