In this course,. you will explore how to control a servo motor using an Arduino UNO.Through a step-by-step guide, students will learn how to connect the servo ,otor, write Arduino code using the Servo.h library and observe the servo’s motion from 0° to 180°. This hands on project is perfect for beginners looking to build a strong foundation in motor control and basic robotics. 

What is a servo motor and how is it different from a regular motor?
A servo motor is a motor that can precisely control angular position. Unlike regular DC motors, it can rotate to a specific angle such as 0°, 90° or 180° based on the signal it receives.
Which pin should I connect the servo motor to on the Arduino?
In this project, the servo motor's signal wire is connected to digital pin 9 on the Arduino UNO. You can change this in code if needed.
Do I need separate power source for the servo motor?
For small servo motors like the SG90, the Arduino's 5V output is usually enough. However, for larger on multiple servo, it's recommended to use an external power supply.
Why is my servo motor jittering or not moving properly?
This can happen due to the insufficient power, loose wiring, missing or incorrect use of the Servo.h library or wrong signal pin assignment in code.
Can i control more than one servo with Arduino UNO?
Yes. You can control up to 12 servo motors on most Arduino boards, but be mindful of power limitations.
What is maximum rotation angle of a servo motor?
Most standard servo motors rotate between 0° to 180°. Some special models may support 270° or continuous rotattion
Can I use a breadboard for this project?
Yes, using a breadboard makes it easier to manage your connections cleanly and securely, especially for beginners.
