A servo motor is a combination of DC motor, position control system, gears. The position

of the shaft of the DC motor is adjusted by the control electronics in the servo, based on
the duty ratio of the PWM signal the SIGNAL pin.

Simply speaking the control electronics adjust shaft position by controlling DC motor.
This data regarding position of shaft is sent through the SIGNAL pin. The position data to
the control should be sent in the form of PWM signal through the Signal pin of servo

In normal cases we need to go to the registers of controller for adjusting the frequency
and for getting required duty ratio for accurate position control of servo, in ARDUINO we
don’t have to do those things.

In ARDUINO we have predefined libraries, which will set the frequencies and duty ratios
accordingly once the header file is called or included. In ARDUINO we simply have to state
the position of servo that needed and the PWM is automatically be adjusted by UNO.

The things which we need to do for getting accurate position of servo are:

1. #include <Servo.h>
2. Servo sg90servo;
3. Sg90.attach(servo_signal_pin_attached_to);
4. Sg90.write(needed_position_ angle);

First we need to set frequency of PWM signal and for that we should call “#include
<Servo.h>” header file, on including this header file in the program, the frequency gets set
automatically and we get to use some special conditions, which enables the user to enter
needed position of servo directly without any fuzz.
•Now we need to define a name for the servo “Servo sg90sevo”, here ‘sg90servo’ is the

name chosen, so while writing for potion we are going to use this name, this feature
comes in handy when we have many servos to control, we can control as many as eight
servo by this.

Now we tell the UNO where the signal pin of servo is connected or where it needs to
generate the PWM signal. To do this we have “Sg90.attach(3);”, here we are telling the
UNO we connected the signal pin of servo at PIN3.

All left is to set the position, we are going set the position of servo by using
“Sg90.write(30);”, by this command the servo hand moves 30 degrees, so that’s it.  After
that whenever we need to change the position of servo we need to call the command
”Sg90.write(needed_position_ angle);”. In this circuit we will have two buttons one button
increases the position of servo and the other is for decreasing the position of servo.

The Arduino  Servo Motor control tutorial  is explained in step by step of C code given
below.
