Lab 2: Servos
Let's Open a Door!
Compared to DC Motors, servo motors have a third cable that needs to connect to a board (like an Arduino) in order to work. Let’s explore how this works.
Materials
- Arduino Uno
- Micro Servo
- IR Sensor
- LED
- Wires
- Breadboard
- Cardboard
- Glue
Step 1
Let’s print a house. Paste the image in a cardboard so it can stand up and cut three sides of the door so we can open it and close it.
Step 2
Connect the components as follows.
Step 3
Mount your new door system into your house!
Use a clip to connect the horn of the servo to your door.
