Arduino-Motor-Control-using-Potentiometer

A basic Arduino Circuit and Code Setup containing A Servo motor along with a Potentiometer. The aim is to control the position of the motor according to the Value of potentiometer.

Circuit Design :

Motor Control with Potentiometer

Description of Pins and Connections :

  1. Pin 9 (PWM) : Used to send Signal Pin to Servo.
  2. A1 (Analog Pin) : Used as Input pin for the Value of Potentiometer
  3. The Code Maps the Value of Potentiometer ( 0 to 1023 ) to the Value acceptable by Motor ( 0 to 180 ). There are two commands so that the motor returns to original position before the next iteration.

Notice how the Angle of Movement in Motor Changes with the Change in Potentiometer
