Servo Motor uses

error sensing

Getting Started with PL2303

USB to UART Converter

Aeroplanes, Helicopters etc. Please read the article Servo Motor

for more information about its working and construction.
Hobby Servo Motors have three wires, two of them (RED and

Flow Control in Python

BLACK) are used to given power and the third one is used to
give control signals. Servo can be easily be controlled using
microcontrollers using Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signals
on the control wire. Here we are using a servo whose angular

AM Generation using
Simulink

rotation is limited to 0 180. We can control the exact angular

position by using a pulse, whose width varying from
1 millisecond to 2 millisecond on the control wire. The actual
behaviour of a particular motor depends upon its manufacture,

PORTB.F0 = 1;
Delay_us(2000);
PORTB.F0 = 0;
Delay_ms(1000);
}while(1);
}

Control wire of the Servo is connected to RB0 of the PIC

Microcontroller. Delay_ms() is used to make delay in
milliseconds during the program execution while Delay_us() is
used to make delay in microsecond during the program
execution.

What would you do to make the servo go in reverse?

Note that sevo will not rotate continuously... and its

position is determined by the pulse width..

In your program you have given like this,

PORTB.F0 = 1;
Delay_us(1000);//1ms Delay
PORTB.F0 = 0;
Delay_ms(1000);
but as per the diagram of the input pulses it should be like this
right?
PORTB.F0 = 1;
Delay_us(1000);//1ms Delay
PORTB.F0 = 0;
Delay_ms(20);

20ms is the minimum required time period...

so instead of 20 ms,1000 ms will work too???

It should work.. try it in hardware.. It will

depend on the servo motor...

Hello LIGO Gearge

I can control it in simulation Proteus. It is Ok.
But i can't control it in real time.
Tell me please where is wrong?
Code C is ok.
I have used quartz crystal 20Mhz.
I use servomotor (DF25MG made in china).

Hi, I want to use a mikroE 4x4 matrix keypad to input a specific

angle that the servo should go to. Do you know how I can code
the keypad and servo to do this in MikroC? Or a good tutorial
that could help? Thanks

What if i want to servo motor to turn 270 degrees? i mean first 0

degree...then 90 deg...then 180...then 270 degree?? coz my bot
requires complete circular rotation...need help!

The angle of the servo is directly propotional to the pulse

width... So provide a pulse width corresponding to 270
degree

So...what is the values that i need to use to bring back to the

older position, for example, im using a servo to open and and
close a claw, so i need to run the motor for a side and after run
againt to another size....how can i do this? whats the values that
i need to put? Thanks!

Servo's position is determined by the pulse width..

if 1ms its position will be at 0 degree..
if 1.5 its position will be at 90 degree...

why is that the signal of the servo is connected to the interrupt

port of the microcontroller not the ccp port?

As indicated above, you need a frequency of about 50Hz,

to control the servo motor.... thus you need to use a very
low clock frequency to produce that frequency using ccp
module...

Hi!!! can you please give me a sample program for five degree
freedom robotic arm using servo motor? we are using mikroc in
16f84a as our pic and we are having a hard time solving it.
thanks! :D

Simple vary the pulse width depending on the type of

servo you are using.. Pulse width of servos may vary for
different manufactures..

maybe you have some microC code which can do the same
servo control via uart? (pic to pic communication)
