INTRODUCTION TO SERVO
MOTOR
A SERVO MOTOR IS A ROTARY OR LINEAR ACTUATOR THAT ALLOWS PRECISE CONTROL OF ANGULAR TO LINEAR
POSITION, VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION.
TYPES OF SERVO MOTOR
▪ AC SERVO MOTOR
▪ DC SERVO MOTOR
▪ POSITIONAL SERVO MOTOR
▪ CONTINUOUS SERVO MOTOR
▪ LINEAR SERVO MOTOR

• ROBOTICS
• AEROSPACE
• INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
• SMART DEVICE
• MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
COMPONENTS REQUIRED
LIST OF COMPONENTS
1: node-MCU
2: servo motor
3: power supply
4: connecting wire
5: breadboard (optional)
BASIC OF PWM (PULSE WIDTH
MODULATION)
❑ WHAT IS PWM ?
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a technique that uses the width of pulse to encode or modulation
❑ How PWM controls servo motor position
PWM control servo motor by varying the pulse
width of the electrical signal send to the motor’s control circuit .
❑ Role of nodeMCU in generating PWM signals
The nodeMCU GPLOs can only output ON or 3.3V , but PWM
allows for the simulation of intermediate voltage level

WIRING
❑Singal, power , and ground pins
Servo motors typically have three wires: power (RED) ,
ground (BLACK or BROWN),
and signal (YELLOW,ORANGE ,WHOTE )
❑Voltage requirements
• Small DC servo motors: typically operate at 4.8-240V with 5V being common
• AC servo motors: typically operate at 100-240V depending on power requirements.
Common mistakes in wiring
A common mistake in servo motor wiring is bed connections, cables, or connectors. Other potential issues include
• No supply voltage
• fuse failure
• Missing command signals
• Loose coupling
• Motor thermal overload

WRITING THE CODE
❑ EXPLAIN THE STRUCTURAL OF THE CODE
1. Include the servo library ( #include)
2. Define the servo object (servo myservo;)
3. Attach servo to GPIO pin (myservo (D1); {D1=pin number }
4. Control servo position (myservo. Write(90);) {90 degree}
5. Complete code example
#include <Servo.h> // Include the Servo library
Servo myServo; // Create a Servo object
void setup() { myServo.attach(D1); // Attach servo to GPIO pin D1}
void loop() { myServo.write(0); // Move servo to 0° delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
myServo.write(90); // Move servo to 90° delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
myServo.write(180); // Move servo to 180° delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second}
UPLOADING THE CODE
❖ STEPS TO UPLOAD CODE TO NODE-MCU
➢ Connect nodeMCU to pc
➢ select the correct board and port in Arduino IDE
➢ Upload the code
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
COMMON ISSUES
Servo motor can have a number of common issues, including:
Overheating
High environmental temperatures, long operating times, or blocked motor can cause
overheating, which can damage the motor and connected system
Bearing failure
Bearing can fail if they are contaminated with dirt, dust, or other foreign particles
Which can increase friction and wear.
Chattering
This issue is characterized by the motor making a chattering or buzzing noise while standing
still.
Misalignment
Misalignment between the motor and driven equipment can cause excessive vibration, which
can lead to increased noise level,
Performance lag
A servo gearmotor might start to lag in performance, which can manifest as slower response
time, decreased torque,
APPLICATION OF NODE-MCU WITH SERVO MOTOR
• Real-world example
IOT based robotic arm using nodeMCU
Robotic Arms have been used by industries to perform complicated and tedious jobs ever since
its introduction in 1962. From assembly lines to paint shops these robotic arms are used
extensively in Automotive Manufacturing Industries. Recently with the advancement of
technology and advent of Internet of thins (IoT)
.
3D printing your robotic ARM
As mentioned earlier the robotic arm used in this project is 3D printed,
if you do not have a printer you can used any Robotic Arm or build
a crude one using cardboards. The 3D printed Robotic Arm
design is taken from this link on Thingiverse. This link also has complete
detailed video showing the procedure of making and
assembling this 3D printed Robotic Arm.

SERVO MOTOR AND NODEMCU USED IN MINING
SMART VENTILATION SYSTEM
Using NodeMCU for IoT connectivity and servo motors for controlling vents,
a smart ventilation system can optimize
air circulation based on
environmental data.
MINE SAFETY SYSTEM
• NodeMCU collects safety data from various sensors and, based on threshold levels, activates
servo-driven mechanisms like emergency doors or safety barriers.
• Mine safety is a critical aspect of mining operations, requiring real-time monitoring
and responsive control mechanisms to mitigate hazards such as gas leaks, fire,
and structural instability. Integrating modern technologies like NodeMCU and
servo motors provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for improving mine
safety through automation and IoT-based systems.
