How-To Tuesday: Arduino 101 potentiometers and servos

Check out makershed.com for a complete line of Arduino products.This is the 3rd installment of my Aduino How-To Tuesdays. This week I am going to cover using another basic part, the potentiometer. I will also cover connecting a servo to the Arduino. Servos can be hard to control, but not with the Arduino! That's just another reason why I love this little micro-controller.

int in c++ (and other languages) does not stand for "instance", it stands for integer, meaning a whole number. other variable types are float, bool, char, and more.

Hello sir, im a beginner and i just want to know if you hava a video of the same concept but instead of a nob, a button operates it and the servos moves up and down,,,,,

Wow....I fly Remote control airplanes and one problem I come across is when working with servos you find yourself trying to zero them out in construction,if they are not at 90deg exactly your control surface will need to be trimmed out,could could zero them by setting up the whole system..but that wastes lots of time,this would be so handy by simply having a setup where you could have it write say from the pot to one part of the board and to another 90deg,then setup would be super easy.

@13rugrat it would be much better

ahhhh i can NOT CONNECT THE POTENTIOMETER HOW DO YOU DO THIS THERES TWO THING ON THE BOTTOM AND THE CONNECTORS ARE TOO FAR APART

can you use it with a 12v dc motor?

@13rugrat You can buy a WiFi Shield for it which can transmit and receive. I assume you would need a receiver on the servo side. I'm not sure how the code would go though.Google WiFi Shield ArduinoHope that helps:P
