LiquidCrystal displays (LCDs) based on the XXX
chipset, which is found on most text-based
LCDs. The library works with in either 4- or 8bit mode (i.e. using 4 or 8 data lines in addition
to the rs, rw, and enable control lines).

Piezo Buzzer as Sensor
Introduction
Piezo buzzers exhibit the reverse piezoelectric effect.
The normal piezoelectric effect is generating electricity
from squeezing a crystal.
Can get several thousand volts, makes a spark
Piezo Knock Sensor
To read a piezo you can connect it to an analog input, but: - You
need to drain off any voltage with a resistor
The protection diodes inside the AVR chip protect against the high
voltage
Tasks
Piezo-sensor: input value -> serial out
Piezo-sensor: input value -> buzzer frequency

Servo Motor
Servos are DC motors with built in gearing and feedback control
loop circuitry.
Servo Wiring
All servos have three wires:
Black or Brown is for ground.
Red is for power (~4.8-6V).
Yellow, Orange, or White is the signal wire (3-5V).
Tasks
Pot position 0180 to servo position and LCD
Railroad crossing barrier
Railroad crossing sign (blinking, beep)

Library for the Servo Motor 1
Servo library
This library allows an Arduino board to control RC servo motors. Servos have integrated
gears and a shaft that can precisely controlled. Standard servos allow the shaft to be
positioned at various angles, usually between 0 and 180 degrees. Continuous rotation
servos allow the rotation of the shaft to be set to various speeds.
As of Arduino 0017, the Servo library supports up to 12 motors on most Arduino boards
and 48 on the Arduino Mega. On boards other than the Mega, use of the library disables
analogWrite() (PWM) functionality on pins 9 and 10, whether or not there is a Servo on
those pins. On the Mega, up to 12 servos can be used without interfering with PWM
functionality; use of 12 to 23 motors will disable PWM on pins 11 and 12.
In Arduino 0016 and earlier, the Servo library uses functionality built in to the hardware,
and works only on pins 9 and 10 (and does not work on the Arduino Mega). In this case,
if only one servo is used, the other pin cannot be used for normal PWM output with
analogWrite(). For example, in Arduino 0016 and earlier, you can't have a servo on pin 9
and PWM output on pin 10.

Library for the Servo Motor 2
Circuit
Servo motors have three wires: power, ground, and signal. The power wire is typically
red, and should be connected to 5V power supply. The ground wire is typically black or
brown and should be connected to a ground pin. The signal pin is typically yellow,
orange or white and should be connected to a digital pin on the Arduino board. Note
servos draw considerable power, so if you need to drive more than one or two, you need
a separate power supply (not the +5V pin on your Arduino!).
