Figure. 1: Circuit diagram of an Arduino controlled Servo motor.

B. Steps:

Controlling Servo Motor Speed with Arduino:

 The speed of a motor can be controlled by varying the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of
the control signal.
 Arduino generate a PWM signal given by the user, and further PWM signal is responsible
for actuator speed control.
 To control the speed of a motor, you need to connect the signal pin of the servo motor to
one of the digital pins of the Arduino board.
 Then, you need to write a program that generates a PWM signal using the analog Write ()
function.

The PWM signal should have a frequency of 50 Hz and a duty cycle that corresponds to the desired
speed of the motor.

 To control the speed of a motor with Arduino, the following steps should be followed:
 Connect the servo motor to the Arduino board.
 Include the Servo.h library in the Arduino sketch.
 Initialize the motor object using the Servo class.
 Set the initial position of the servo motor using the write () function.
 Use the write Microseconds() function to control the speed of the servo motor by varying
the pulse width of the control signal.

C. Code:

1) To control steps of the Servo Motor


 #include <Servo.h>
 Servo myservo;
 void setup() {
 myservo.attach(9);

 myservo.write(90);
 }
 void loop() {
 for (int i = 0; i <= 180; i++) {
 myservo.writeMicroseconds(map(i, 0, 180, 1000, 2000));
 delay(15);
 }
2) To control angle of the Servo Motor

 #include <Servo.h>
 Servo myservo;
 void setup ()
 {
 myservo.attach (6);
 }
 void loop ()
 {
 myservo.write (90);
 delay (1000);
 myservo.write (0);
 delay(1000);
 }

Additional Tasks –

1. Control position of the Servo motor using Ultrasonic sensor.

Conclusions –

The DC motor speed control is an important task to control various robotics systems. In this
experiment students have gained knowledge about how to interface Arduino and motor with PC.
