ABSTRACT
In contrast to Direct Current (DC) motors, the DC servo motor angular position can be
controlled at a particular angle by utilizing a control signal. Arduino has as of late been
utilized in a wide scope of control approach, particularly including closed loop system with
servomotor because of its adaptability and simplicity. So as to control the DC servo motor,
there are three distinct techniques that can be utilized by utilizing Arduino to be specific
Arduino Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), Support focus for Simulink (Support Package)
and Arduino Input/yield (IO) Package. This paper presents a similar report on the servo
motor position control (with voltage feedback) by utilizing the above strategies to discover
the best strategy to control the complex servo motor system with closed-loop position input.

Keywords: DC servo motor, IDE, Arduino
