Integration of Sensors and Actuators With Arduino-: Dr. Sudip Misra

The document discusses integrating servo motors with Arduino. It describes how servo motors work and the basic servo library. A servo motor provides precise rotary motion from 0 to 180 degrees using 3 wires: ground, power, and signal. The Arduino servo library allows controlling the servo position by writing angle values. An example sketch shows attaching a servo to a pin and using write() to move it to 0, 90, and 180 degrees with delays.

Introduction to Internet of Things 1


Topics Covered

 Introduction to ACTUATOR
 Servo Motor
 Servo motor interfaced with Arduino
 Hardware interface
 Sketch

Introduction to Internet of Things 2


Actuators

 Mechanical/Electro-mechanical device
 Converts energy into motion
 Mainly used to provide controlled motion to other
components

Introduction to Internet of Things 3


Basic Working Principle

Uses different combination of various mechanical


structures like screws, ball bearings, gears to produce
motion.

Introduction to Internet of Things 4


Types of Motor Actuators

 Servo motor
 Stepper motor
 Hydraulic motor
 Solenoid
 Relay
 AC motor

Introduction to Internet of Things 5


Servo Motor
 High precision motor
 Provides rotary motion 0
to 180 degree
 3 wires in the Servo motor
 Black or the darkest one is
Ground
 Red is for power supply
 Yellow for signal pin

Introduction to Internet of Things 6


Servo Library on Arduino

 Arduino provides different library- SERVO


to operate the servo motor
 Create an instance of servo to use it in the
sketch
Servo myservo;

Introduction to Internet of Things 7


Sketch: SERVO_ACTUATOR
void loop(){
#include <Servo.h> //Servo moves to 0 degrees
//Including the servo library for the program ServoDemo.write(0);
int servoPin = 12; delay(1000);

// Servo moves to 90 degrees


Servo ServoDemo; // Creating a servo object
ServoDemo.write(90);
void setup() { delay(1000);
// The servo pin must be attached to the servo
before it can be used // Servo moves to 180 degrees

ServoDemo.attach(servoPin); ServoDemo.write(180);
delay(1000);
}
}

Introduction to Internet of Things 8


Sketch: SERVO_ACTUATOR (contd..)

 Create an instance of Servo


 The instance must be attached
to the pin before being used in
the code
 Write() function takes the
degree value and rotates the
motor accordingly

Introduction to Internet of Things 9


Connection

 Connect the Ground of the


servo to the ground of the
Arduino board.
 Connect the power supply wire
to the 5V pin of the board.
 Connect the signal wire to any
digital output pin (we have used
pin 8).

Introduction to Internet of Things 10


Board Setup

 Connect the board to the PC

 Set the port and board type

 Verify and upload the code

Introduction to Internet of Things 11


Output

The motor turns 0, 90 and 180


degrees with a delay of 1 second
each.

Introduction to Internet of Things 12


Do more with the Servo library

Some other functions available with the Servo


library:
 Knob()
 Sweep()
 write()
 writeMicroseconds()
 read()
 attached()
 detach()
