Arduino Servo Motor Control Concepts

This video tutorial teaches how to program an Arduino to control a servo motor using a potentiometer. It covers the necessary components, circuit setup, and coding steps. The tutorial explains how to connect the Arduino to a PC, write and upload the code, and map potentiometer values to servo positions. By the end, viewers will be able to control a servo motor with a potentiometer and are encouraged to explore more advanced circuits.
