i am trying to implement below programme,i am getting loop continousoly,after certain period it making the arm to make wrong positions with out the defined angles,can anybody help me.
#include<Servo.h>
Servo Servo1;
Servo Servo2;
Servo Servo3;
Servo Servo4;
int aiJointPara[3][4]
={{00,0,100,0},{100,0,100,0},{100,135,100,00}};
void setup()
{
Servo1.attach(8);
Servo2.attach(9);
Servo3.attach(10);
Servo4.attach(11);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void GotoPathPoint(int iPathId)
{
Servo1.write(aiJointPara[iPathId][0]);
Servo2.write(aiJointPara[iPathId][1]);
Servo3.write(aiJointPara[iPathId][2]);
Servo4.write(aiJointPara[iPathId][3]);
delay(5000);
}
void loop()
{
//GotoPathPoint(0);
//GotoPathPoint(1);
//GotoPathPoint(2);
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
GotoPathPoint(i);
}
is there any other method to programme 4 servo motors at a time in arduino
The code looks ok and it sounds like it works for a while so I suspect you have a power issue - how are you powering the servos? Note that "from the arduino" is not a good answer.
yes, i am giving power from arduino,sorry to say that,but can u provide me another way of programming the servo motors,or some idea how can i programme the servo motors.
thank you for your reply
You can sometimes get away with powering a single non-loaded servo from an arduino, but it's not a good idea if you want it to last. You need separate power for the servos. Check this thread powering servos - in reply #12 you'll see JimboZA's diagram showing you how to wire up three servos.
yes, i got it thank you for your reply, can i make any modifications for my progrmming,
thank u
Hard to say - what does your program do that you don't want? What isn't it doing that you do?
That said, it's rarely a good idea to use delay. Take a look at Robin2's example code, or the IDE's blink without delay sketch to see how to use millis instead.
