Strenght sensor & servomotor

Other Hardware Robotics
1

Hi everyone, I need to create a code that will stock and receive information from a strenght sensor. But, the problem is that I have no idea how to do it. Moreover, i have to send those informations to a servomotor so it can move.

If someone can give me a hint or anything to help me on that (because am a noob), thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Simple servo test code you can use to experiment with your servo.

// zoomkat 7-30-10 serial servo test
// type servo position 0 to 180 in serial monitor
// for writeMicroseconds, use a value like 1500
// Powering a servo from the arduino usually *DOES NOT WORK*.

String readString;
#include <Servo.h> 
Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo 

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  myservo.attach(9);
}

void loop() {

  while (Serial.available()) {

    if (Serial.available() >0) {
      char c = Serial.read();  //gets one byte from serial buffer
      readString += c; //makes the string readString
      delay(3);
    } 
  }

  if (readString.length() >0) {
    Serial.println(readString);
    int n = readString.toInt();
    Serial.println(n);
    myservo.writeMicroseconds(n);
    //myservo.write(n);
    readString="";
  } 
}

What is a strength sensor? What does it measure the strength of? Can you post a link to the one you're using?
