Servo Motor

This week I started on the Servo motor lab.

Setting up the breadboard, cleaning up by shortening my wires this week.

Connected the servo motor ground, control and power wires to breadboard, and added FSR with resistor.

It was pretty straightforward, as we went over it during class on Tuesday. It’s interesting to see how the FSR value gets mapped to an angle that the servo rotates to, and it makes me wonder what the application for this motor can be for our upcoming projects. I kind of wish it could keep rotating past 180, but maybe that’s something I need to investigate more with code.
