I want to pull a nylon fishing line just a bit with some type of mecanism.It would be just half a centimeter. There would be 100 of these lines. I am thinking about 100 servomotors.Is there a better way of doing so?

I have a project of dropping a package from the belly of balsa aircraft wireless. for that i m using servo motor and wireless TXr and RXr and IC 555 timer. can anyone help with the circuit diagram. any kind of help will be appreciate.

Hey guys I am trying to get a servomotor which is attatched to a photo sensor to read a light source.  I have servo attached to analog pin 1 and using analogRead to read the value, but I want the maximum value it reads.  Any ideas

Right now I have an arduino (power being supplied by a 9v battery) controlling 4 servos (using 4 digital pins). The servos are connected to a breadboard and are acquiring power from four AA batteries (essentially a 6v battery). However, I cannot figure out how much current the motors are drawing, nor how long these batteries will last. I don't know if the robot I'm building should use AA, C, or D batteries. The image is a rough representation of what I have right now (except the four batteries I have are all in one pack). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I'm making researches about electric motors, I know very little about them and it seems to be a vast world. I don't have any detailled project yet, but I'd like to make a small robot that would be capable to move, that implies using electric motors. Forums have many useful data about them, but what it lacks is precise user reviews: what type of motor would you use the most, and why? Is it simpler to use servomotors over DC, or brushless? Prics must be a criteria of choice, but can I found cheap motors with good performance? Thank you very much for your help

Hi, I have tried this project :https://www.instructables.com/id/Control-Servo-Wit... , about controlling servo with headphone´s jack, I just bought 2 servos TowerPro SG90 and when I tried both, none worked. Firstly I tried it with a 3,7V battery, then with a USB (5V), later with a 5.2V battery and finally I put the same as the tutorial (9V) but it didn´t work. I tried with the audios provided in the tutorial and I did new ones with audacity, with 1000hz frec 1ms duration (clockwise) and 500hz 2ms duration(counterclockwise), coping and paste every 20ms until completing 2 sec, but it didnt do anything. I want to know if I am doing something wrong or the servos are just broken (newly purchased).I edit, I just realized that if I apply 5V on the signal wire, it moves, is that because it is broken?Thanks for the help!

Please help me it is very urgent for my project

How can I build a simple servo motor from a normal DC motor, what are the components of an original servomotor and how are they connected?

I'm currently working on a project which studies the earthquakes and aims to reproduce seismic datas on paper rolls. I'm using home-made electronics (servomotors) and would like to redraw the earthquakes with the most accuracy. For that, I use the heliplots we can find like here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/monitoring/operations/heliplots_gsn.php However, each time I find a heliplot, it is an image. But in my project, I'm trying to get the datas as inputs as sort to be drawn directly with servomotors and mechanisms. My question is how could I translate the pictures as datas (CSV for examples) or where could I find an earthquake decomposed under a CSV file?

Hello everyone, I don't really know if this is possible, I am using processing, arduino and a force sensitive resistor to control a servo and I want to change the value of a variable and then if I reset the arduino, it will kept the new value. Is there anyway to do this? This is the part of my code I want to change. void fsrMovement(){         int maxforce= 1023;  // THIS IS THE VARIABLE         if(Serial.available()){  // SERIAL AVAILABLE TO USE WITH PROCESSING         maxforce = Serial.read();         }         force = analogRead(FSR);  // Reads the FSR               Serial.print("Force sensor reading = ");         Serial.println(force); // This will print the raw force value         int pos = map(force, 0, maxforce, 0, 175); // Scales the force reading to degrees for servo control         Serial.print("servomotor degrees = ");         Serial.println(pos); // This will print the adjusted servo reading (an angle)         myservo1.write(pos); // Write the new angle to the servo         delay(10); // Delay 10 milliseconds before taking another reading

Hi everybody, i need some support in developing this circuit.I'm making a ping pong ball launcher and I just need a servomotor with a switch and 3 dc motor.One should move quite slow and I wanted to use a potentiometer. The other two move together or alone but at the same speed. I want to control the 2 motors and the servo with Arduino. I don't know how much volt I should apply. Should work this way?May anybody give me some hints? Thank you so much.If u may want to change something https://www.tinkercad.com/things/aPDSlGBukDM-epic...I left here my code: #include Servo servo_2;int counter;void setup() { pinMode(8, OUTPUT); pinMode(10, OUTPUT); servo_2.attach(2); }void loop() { digitalWrite(8, HIGH); digitalWrite(10, HIGH); for (counter = 0; counter < 10; ++counter) { servo_2.write(45); delay(3000); servo_2.write(0); delay(3000); } }

Hi community,I'm prototyping a 6-DOF Stewart Platform, i.e. a parallel mechanism also known as hexapod, with an embedded resistive touchscreen on its top plate that captures the current position of a ball moving on it. Coordinates are stored by Arduino Due and sent via serial to a Python script which elaborates data, computes inverse kinematics and outputs the 6 servo angles (again via serial port) to Arduino that, finally, moves the arms. As you can notice, velocity is obtained by a one-side differentiator and here it comes my first question: how much should be the sampling step? It takes 124 microseconds for Arduino to execute both the "AnalogRead" functions, but coordinates are stored in Python at a different clock (order of one millisecond). I picked sampling step h (see attachment 2) equal to the computational time of the Python script, with decent results, but still I'm not convinced.My second issue regards tuning of the PD controller: I first described the system with a double-integrator transfer function (from assumptions and simplifications over ball&plate; control) but the obtained controller parameters were far from the optimal ones. Therefore a simplified model of motor dynamics was added to the transfer function and new PD constants were implemented: simulation and real behaviors are far from being identical (high delay, not null steady-state error, higher rise time, etc.); however, inside small ranges of error and with reduced velocity, the ball reaches an equilibrium basin. The third attachment depicts the final transfer function where:- K is K_m*K_ball*g (K_m:motor gain constant, K_ball: ball inertia, g: gravitational force)- T is tau_m: motor time constant;I set K_m and tau_m equals to torque (Kg*m) and velocity (rad/s) respectively, according to servomotors datasheet: is this the right choice?Thanks to everyone for even reading and for any upcoming help.

Hello everyone, hope your day is better than mine. I am trying to figure this out and to the best of my knowledge; I just can’t get this to work. Everything is connected correctly.  Note, I am also using separate power to the breadboard. The problem is, the servos adjust themselves when I apply power, but they will not turn when I increase or decrease the rotation of the potentiometers (I know all servos work and the pots work as well (trust me, I tested each using a single servo and pot sketch) I am almost positive it is an oversight, and I have been staring at it so long that, well I am most likely am overlooking the problem. I would really appreciate your assistance. So here is the code: #include Servo pot1V;  // create servo object to control a servo Servo pot2V;  // create servo object to control a servo Servo pot3H;  // create servo object to control a servo Servo pot4H;  // create servo object to control a servo int mypan1 = 0;  // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer int val0;    // variable to read the value from the analog pin int mypan2 = 1;  // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer int val1;    // variable to read the value from the analog pin int mytilt3 = 2;  // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer int val2;    // variable to read the value from the analog pin int mytilt4 = 3;  // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer int val3;    // variable to read the value from the analog pin void setup() {   pot1V.attach(3);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object   pot2V.attach(5);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object   pot3H.attach(6);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object   pot4H.attach(9);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object    } void loop() {   mypan1 = analogRead(0);            // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)   mypan1 = map(mypan1, 0, 1023, 0, 179);     // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)   pot1V.write(val0);                  // sets the servo position according to the scaled value   delay(15);                           // waits for the servo to get there   mypan2 = analogRead(1);            // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)   mypan2 = map(mypan2, 0, 1023, 0, 179);     // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)   pot2V.write(val1);                  // sets the servo position according to the scaled value   delay(15);                           // waits for the servo to get there   mytilt3 = analogRead(2);            // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)   mytilt3 = map(mytilt3, 0, 1023, 0, 179);     // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)   pot3H.write(val2);                  // sets the servo position according to the scaled value   delay(15);                           // waits for the servo to get there   mytilt4 = analogRead(3);            // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)   mytilt4 = map(mytilt4, 0, 1023, 0, 179);     // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)   pot4H.write(val3);                  // sets the servo position according to the scaled value   delay(15);                           // waits for the servo to get there } Thank you so much in advance, Anna :)
