The most common servos all look very similar like these three here they all have a sawtooth shaft on top in order to attach different kind of accessories necessary for your projects and three wires coming out of them. Brown is ground. Red is VCC, which usually requires a voltage between four point. Eight to seven point two volts and orange is the control signal, which needs to be a PWM signal, with a periodic time of twenty milliseconds, aka 50 Hertz and a duty cycle of one to two milliseconds. So five to ten percent, while an on time of one milliseconds, represents the 90 position of the motor shafts one point: five milliseconds represent a zero Degree position and two milliseconds the plus 90 degrees position. So we can rotate the shaft a total of 180 degrees. But before applying an appropriate signal, let’s remove the four mounting screws of the servo in order to remove the top and bottom cover on the top. We can see four different sized gears that decrease the original RPM of the utilized DC motor from around 3000 to around 50 to 100 rpm and thereby also increase the torque. But that is not all underneath one gear Heights, the shaft of a potentiometer that is located inside the servo. This potentiometer creates a voltage divider that outputs a variable voltage according to the position of the motor shaft and acts as a feedback for the utilized control. I see the KC five one.

Eight eight D, I see constantly compares the potentiometer voltage aka the current States to the intended position of the PWM signal, aka the target States and then activates an integrated H bridge to let the motor rotate in either direction. To achieve a difference of zero between the two signals, and that is basically how a common server works, of course, the torque and speeds, along with other useful information, are always mentioned in the datasheet. In just in case, you need something D feel for your project. You can always upgrade your Savo. This mg 996 also will consist of metal gears with a bigger motor to increase the torque and the control. I see you with separate and channel and P channel MOSFET ICS to form an H bridge that can handle more current, but let’s get back to the control signal. After connecting the servo to a separate power supply, we can easily use the p9 of an Arduino and a bit of code that includes the server library to generate the required signal by using a potentiometer as analog inputs on pin a0. I can vary the on time of the signal between 1 milliseconds and 2 milliseconds, but, as you can clearly see here, this input signal does not complete a 180 degrees rotation of the servo. Instead, we need something like 0.5 milliseconds to almost 2.5 milliseconds to utilize. The complete 180 degrees of rotation which the Arduino library can handle as well, but we don’t necessarily need not Reno.

To achieve this functionality. A simple 555 timer IC with two resistors one diode two capacitors and the potentiometer in this constellation, can create the PWM signal as well. The on time varies between 0.5 to 2 point 4, 5 milliseconds according to the position of the potentiometer, and the off time is around seventeen point. Five to eighteen point: five milliseconds this way the generated signal may not have a constant periodic time of 20 milliseconds, but the servo does not really care about such small details and works. Just like we intended its but let’s say you need a servo that rotates 360 degrees, essentially like a normal motor. Does you could simply use a gear DC motor, but your project would work best with the easy to mount. Servo no problem here is an easy heck on how to do that simply remove the mechanical end, stop which is usually attached to one gear, remove the feedback potentiometer and replace it with two 10 kilo, ohm resistors to create a voltage. Divider that’s healthy control see that the motor is always in its zero degree position now, by applying an on time below 1.4 milliseconds, the motor rotates, clockwise and above one point four milliseconds anti clockwise, in both cases with an adjustable rpm. But suddenly the feedback will never reach the target states and does rotate forever, and if you are too lazy for the sack, there also exists. Pre made servos with those modifications that even let you control the zero Degree state of the potentiometer and with that being said, you already know quite a bit about servos.

I hope you liked this video and learned something new as well.
