/* Arduino Starter Kit example Project 5 - Servo Mood Indicator This sketch is written to accompany Project 5 in the Arduino Starter Kit Parts required: - servo motor - 10 kilohm potentiometer - two 100 uF electrolytic capacitors created 13 Sep 2012 by Scott Fitzgerald http://www.arduino.cc/starterKit This example code is part of the public domain. */ // include the Servo library #include Servo myServo; // create a servo object int const potPin = A0; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer int potVal; // variable to read the value from the analog pin int angle; // variable to hold the angle for the servo motor void setup() { myServo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object Serial.begin(9600); // open a serial connection to your computer } void loop() { potVal = analogRead(potPin); // read the value of the potentiometer // print out the value to the Serial Monitor Serial.print("potVal: "); Serial.print(potVal); // scale the numbers from the pot angle = map(potVal, 0, 1023, 0, 179); // print out the angle for the servo motor Serial.print(", angle: "); Serial.println(angle); // set the servo position myServo.write(angle); // wait for the servo to get there delay(15); }
