How it works
The Micro Servo SG90 operates using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals. By varying the width of the pulse sent to the servo, you can control its position and movement. This makes it easy to integrate into various projects, whether you're building a robot or a simple mechanical system.
Getting started
- Connect the servo motor to your microcontroller or servo controller.
- Power the servo with a suitable voltage (between 4.8V and 6.0V).
- Send PWM signals to the servo to control its position.
- Experiment with different pulse widths to see how the servo responds.
Wiring / connections
Connect the servo motor to your control board as follows:
- Red wire to positive voltage (VCC)
- Brown wire to ground (GND)
- Orange wire to the PWM control signal
Tips & troubleshooting
- Ensure the power supply is within the specified voltage range.
- Check connections if the servo does not respond.
- Use a suitable PWM signal frequency (typically around 50Hz).
Safety notes
Always handle the servo motor carefully to avoid damage. Ensure proper voltage levels to prevent overheating.
