Arduino Servo Control: How to Make a Laser Turret with XOD
Рет қаралды 943,230
Күн бұрынA tutorial on what servos are, how they work, and how to control them. Then I build a laser turret using a pan-tilt servo kit and an Arduino Uno. The Arduino is programmed with XOD, a free visual programming language.
Download XOD: xod.io/?ut...

As an Electrical engineer your explanation for PWM control over the servo is fantastic. It is concise and the visuals help a lot. I'll be using this material to teach a class , thank you so much.

Excellent. One of the best videos I've seen. I wish I had this video around when I was into RC model airplanes. In RC, we use either servo "testers" or some of the newer transmitters have a servo test feature built in. It is wild watching all of the servos move the control surfaces through their paces at one time without any intervention.
