Sweep

Sweeps the shaft of a RC servo motor back and forth across 180 degrees.

This example makes use of the Arduino servo library.

Step 1: What You Need?

1 x Arduino Board ( Arduino UNO used in this tutorial) 
1 x Servo Motor 

1 x USB Type-B Cable 
Male-to-Male Jumper Wires

Don't have components? Don't worry. Just click the component's name. 

Step 2: Build Your Circuit.

Servo motors have three wires: power, ground, and signal. The power wire is typically red, and should be connected to the 5V pin on the Arduino board. The ground wire is typically black or brown and should be connected to a ground pin on the board. The signal pin is typically yellow, orange or white and should be connected to pin 9 on the board.

Step 3: Upload The Code.

1. Select the Arduino board type: Select Tools >> Board >> Select your correct Arduino board used.

2. Find the port number by accessing device manager on Windows. See the section Port (COM&LPT) and look for an open port named "Arduino Uno (COMxx)". If you are using a different board, you will find a name accordingly. What matters is the xx in COMxx part. In my case, it's COM3. So my port number is 3.

Select the right port: Tools >> Port >> Select the port number.

3. You can find this code in the example of Arduino IDE.

Select File >> Examples >> Servo >> Sweep
