How to Use 180° Micro Servo Motor

Photo of 180° Micro Servo Motor

You can move the motor by specifying the rotation angle. It can perform complex movements like moving a robot or dispensing water to plants as needed. The brown wire is GND, the red wire is the power supply's +, and the orange wire is the signal wire.

About the Module

You can rotate the red circle part in the photo. It can move from 0° to 180° according to the signal.

Connection

Connect the 180° Micro Servo Motor to the SPACEBLOCK microcontroller board using jumper wires (male-male) as follows:

  • Connect the orange wire of the servo motor to the PWM compatible pin of SPACEBLOCK
  • Connect the brown wire of the servo motor to the GND pin of SPACEBLOCK
  • Connect the red wire of the servo motor to the 5V pin of SPACEBLOCK
Connection method between SPACEBLOCK microcontroller board and 180° Micro Servo Motor

※The image shows the signal line connected to pin A0. PWM compatible pins are A0, B0, A10, B8.

※5V and GND can also be inserted into the pins with the same notation on the SPACEBLOCK microcontroller board.

Usage

Command the angle you want the 180° Micro Servo Motor to move using blocks. You can use the dedicated blocks in the 'Output' category > 'Servo Motor' in the project.
