Servo Coding

To control a servo motor with an Arduino Nano Every, include the Servo library, create a servo object, and attach it to a PWM-capable digital pin. Use the write() function within a loop to set the servo's position between 0 and 180 degrees, with delays for timing. Ensure the servo has an external power supply if multiple servos are used, and select the appropriate pin for PWM support.

To control a servo motor with an Arduino Nano Every, you'll need to include the Servo library, create a

servo object, attach it to a digital pin, and then use the write() function to set its position. You can use a
simple loop to sweep the servo between different angles, like 0 and 180 degrees.

1. Include the Servo Library:

Code

#include <Servo.h>

2. Create a Servo Object:

Code

Servo myservo; // Create a servo object

3. Attach the Servo to a Pin:

Code

void setup() {

myservo.attach(9); // Attaches the servo on pin 9

(Choose a digital pin on your Nano Every that supports PWM, like pin 9)

4. Control the Servo in the Loop:

Code

void loop() {

// Example: Move the servo to 0 degrees

myservo.write(0);

delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second

// Example: Move the servo to 180 degrees

myservo.write(180);
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second

Complete Example Code:

Code

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo; // Create a servo object

void setup() {

myservo.attach(9); // Attaches the servo on pin 9

void loop() {

// Move the servo to 0 degrees

myservo.write(0);

delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second

// Move the servo to 180 degrees

myservo.write(180);

delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second

Explanation:

#include <Servo.h>: Includes the necessary Servo library for using servo motors.

Servo myservo;: Creates a servo object named myservo. You can name it anything you like.

myservo.attach(9);: Attaches the servo to digital pin 9 of the Arduino Nano Every. You can choose a
different pin that supports PWM.

myservo.write(angle);: Sends a value (0-180) to the servo, telling it to move to that position (in degrees).
delay(1000);: Pauses the program for 1000 milliseconds (1 second).

Important Notes:

Power:

Make sure your servo motor has its own external power supply, especially if you are controlling multiple
servos, as the Arduino Nano's onboard power may not be sufficient.

Pin Selection:

Choose a digital pin on your Arduino Nano Every that supports PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).

Servo Type:

This code assumes you're using a standard servo motor that moves between 0 and 180 degrees. If you
have a continuous rotation servo, you'll need to use different logic for controlling it.
