Summary of Control Servo with Light using Arduino
This project demonstrates how to control a servo motor using a photocell sensor with an Arduino. It is designed for beginners and involves connecting a photocell, a 10k resistor, a servo, and an Arduino on a breadboard. The servo’s position is adjusted based on the light intensity detected by the photocell, providing a simple introduction to sensor-based motor control.
Parts used in the Control Servo with Light using Arduino:
- Photocell
- 10k Resistor
- Arduino
- Breadboard
- Servo
- Jumper wires
Hello!
In this Instructable i will teach you how to control a servo using a Photocell.
This is very simple and good for beginners.
Step 1: Materials
1 x Photocell
1 x 10k Resistor
1 x Arduino
1x Breadboard
1x Servo
and some jumpers
Step 2: Wiring it up
Wire everything following the schematic below.
Step 3: The Code
The Code is very simple:
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
int val;
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(12);
}
void loop()
