Objectives:

1- Understand what a servo motor and identify the three main wires of a servo (VCC, GND, Signal) and their roles.
2-Connect a servo motor correctly to an Arduino board.
3- Using the laibrary to extract the codes that control servo motor.
4- Relate the project to real-life technologies.

5- Test and adjust the circuit for correct response.

A servo motor is a special type of motor that can rotate to a specific angle (like 0°, 90°, 180°) accurately and smoothly.

Fill in the Blanks

Which color do you think connects to the Arduino’s 5V in Servo Motor ?

💻 Sample Arduino Code:

1- Include the servo Library:

This line tells the Arduino to use the servo library, which contains all the instructions needed to communicate with the servo motor.

• Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries → Search “servo” → Install.

• File → example → sweep → connect → upload.
