Hi everyone!
I'm a beginner at Arduino and was trying to make a servo motor(Futaba s3003) work. I'd attached the signal pin to PWM pin 9 and provided the voltage and ground through an external battery of 9V. Instead of spinning, it just twiched as soon as the circuit was complete and then stopped. Whenever I disconnected and reconnected the circuit, it twiched again and then did nothing. Any leads would help me alot. Thank you!
The code I used was as follows
#include <Servo.h>
Servo servo1;
// create servo object to control a servo
// twelve servo objects can be created on most boards
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
void setup()
{
servo1.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
for(pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
{ // in steps of 1 degree
servo1.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(15);
// waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
delay(2000);
for(pos = 0; pos>=-180; pos-=1) // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
{
servo1.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(15);
// waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
delay(2000);
}
