Sweep Servo Motor With Arduino Nano

Hello friends.

In this instructable, i have shown how to sweep a servo motor with Arduino Nano.

Generally servo motor is used where is low speed but with a high torque is needed. this work can be done by a geared motor too.

But servo motors are different from geared motors, servo motors can read it position & can rotate to given degrees.

Tools we will need.

• Arduino Nano
• A servo motor.

First of all attach servo motor to Nano like in the image above.

• The yellow wire is signal wire which will be attached to Nano's digital pin 9.
• The red wire is positive wire which will be attached to 5V.
• The black wire is negative wire & it will be connected to GND.

all the hardware work is done, now move to software part.

Attach the USB cable to Nano And PC.

Open the Arduino IDE software.

Go to File > Examples > Servo > Sweep.

Upload it to Nano.

When uploading is done.

The servo motor will follow commands given by Nano.

• It will rotate to 0 degree at first.
• Then one by one degree it will rotate to 180.
• When it will reach to 180 degree.
• It will do same process reversely & process goes on until you remove the power or upload the new sketch.
