Lab 5

Lab Objectives

  • Use PWM to drive a servo motor
  • Use an H-bridge to drive a DC motor

Materials

  • Breadboard & hookup wire
  • Arduino
  • variable resistor
  • RC Servo motor
  • Switch
  • H-bridge
  • DC motor

Part 1

This lab uses the servo library to control the position of a servo according to a variable resistor. In my case I used a sliding pot.

The code was taken from Arduinos knob example https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Knob

Part 2

In part 2 we used an H-bridge to change the direction of current in order to change the direction of the DC Motor.
