Arduino Tutorial: Using a Servo SG90 with Arduino
educ8s.tv shows us how to use a servo motor with Arduino UNO: A Servo is a small device that has an output shaft. This shaft can be positioned to specific angular positions by sending the servo a coded signal. That’s why we need the Arduino, in oder to send that signal to the...
