Servo

Here is a video of my Servo; angle control with a Potentiometer.

I had some trouble with this one as I did not now I did not have enough voltage for  my servo to function:

So I tried it with a classmate’s servo (from Adafruit box) and it worked.

I was so certain it was my code (as that is my weakest) that I did not think it could be a component.

Though this scared me so thoroughly that I went line by line and defined the pattern and knew that though I understand what each line of code is doing, that I have no clue as to how to fix it or make it work better.

So, if you look to the previous blog you can find my efforts of writing code from scratch and then attempting millis… (though I wrote my code, then looked up code and then re-did all of my code for millis).

I must admit that I am confused about how exactly the potentiometer(in this case) controls the angle of the servo.  I get it big-picture, but …not enough.

For instance, I understand that 179 is a  significant number as is 1024/1023 as is 255 and have a vague comprehension of their specific meaning… but not enough.
