Controlling a Servo
Motor with Arduino
A servo motor is used to
rotate objects at specific
angles.
It’s widely used in robotics,
automation, and hobby
projects.
This tutorial explains how to
connect and control a servo
motor using Arduino.
Components
Needed
Arduino UNO – The controller
to send angle signals.
Servo Motor (e.g., SG90) –
Rotates to specified angles.
Power Source (USB or external
5V)
Jumper Wires – For
connections
How the Code Works

Method 1: Servo Sweep Code

Rotates servo from 0° to


180° and back in a loop.
Great for testing motor
range.
Uses myservo.write(pos) to
move the servo.
How the Code Works
Method 2: Servo Knob Code (With
Potentiometer)
Control servo angle using a
potentiometer.
Reads analog input → converts
to angle (0°–180°).
Code uses:
analogRead(A0) to read pot
value
map() to scale input
servoMotor.write(angle) to
move servo
Where It’s Used

Common uses:
Robotic arms
Smart locks
Camera positioning systems
Remote-controlled cars
Working
Demonstration
Here’s how the project
output looks like, you can
see that in our servo
Arduino setup the servo
motors is being controlled
using the potentiometer.
