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
Print

Tutorial taken from instructables

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.
