    I had a problem with shaky motor around 120 deg it would start going crazy. If you have this problem you can smooth out the movement with a capacitor wired in series with the POT. In my case 100 ųF capacitor worked great.

    I just tried running this code with an external power supply made from AA batteries so that I could run more than one servo, but the servo keeps shaking back and forth randomly when I do so. Is there a different way you need to write the code to use 5V external rather than the 5V on the arduino?

    Hi, great tutorial.. thank you!! I wanted to do an electronic airplane trim for my simulator. I have purchased a trim wheel on ebay and I will connect it to the simulator/computer. My idea is that when I use the trim on the yoke, the servo control turns the trim wheels. Having that I have a few questions:
    1) Is it okay to turn the servo manually?
    2) Do you think this servo is strong enough to turn a airplane trim wheel?
    3) Using your program.. can it read the input from the pc rather than the potentiometer with an small adjustment?
    Thanks,

    • @DroneHow
      @DroneHow  8 років тому

      +Filipe Bessa Now when you say simulator, what kind of simulator are you specifically referring to and what size aircraft are you looking into?

    • @bessalf
      @bessalf 8 років тому

      +Drone How I'm bulding a simulator for a Piper Seneca V! I've bought two trim wheels on ebay! My idea is to control these two wheels electronically using the servos when I activate it through the yoke, but in some ocasions I would turn these wheels manually!
      The mechanic turn will be translated, visa reduction gears, to a rotary potentiometer, which I can then read on the simulator software!

    • @DroneHow
      @DroneHow  8 років тому

      +Filipe Bessa I would first recommend doing a torque reading when manually turning the wheels. Once you have the torque reading, I would find a servo that can handle at least twice the torque required. Nothing in the code or arduino would change. If the servo has a higher current rating, you'll need to power the servo directly, so as to prevent overloading the arduino.

    • @DroneHow
      @DroneHow  8 років тому

      +Filipe Bessa You can certainly turn the servos manually, provided there is no power to the servo when turning it. Are you looking to drive the servo through more than 180 degrees of rotation?

    • @bessalf
      @bessalf 8 років тому

      +Drone How thanks for replying! I think the wheels are not that heavy to turn, so probably the servo you used should be able to turn it, but I can go stronger if needed! The rotation will depend on the reduction gears! The servo should turn at least the same as the rotary potentiometer in your video! I've seen a couple of videos on how to hack a servo for continuous rotation if I need a greater turn!

    #include
    Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
    int potpin = 0; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer
    int val; // variable to read the value from the analog pin
    void setup() {
    myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
    }
    void loop() {
    val = analogRead(potpin); // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)
    myservo.write(val); // sets the servo position according to the scaled value
    delay(15); // waits for the servo to get there
    }
    What will be the output of above code?
    a. read the potentiometr value on A0 only
    b. read the potentiometr value on A0 and writes to servo controller in a loop after a delay of 15 miliseconds
    c.write value to servo motor only
    d. Non of above

    • @astridtrent
      @astridtrent 5 років тому

      it would be A. Because you are not converting the analog value into a value that the servo can read.

      This is a map function. So you're mapping analog inputs from the Potentiometer (0-1023) to output values that the servo can understand (0-180 degrees)

    I replicated this exactly, yet my servo just keeps moving back and forth. Unplugging the connection from the potentiometer stops it for about a second, then it starts back up again.
    Help, please.

      +Vova Saye Have you tried using another servo?

      I rewired it and got it fixed. Thanks though!
