Diy How To Control Servo Motor Angle Using Visuino

In this tutorial we will use Servo Motor and Arduino UNO, and Visuino to control servo motor Angle using sequence component.Sequence component is perfect for situations where we want to trigger several events in sequence in our case servo motor degrees.

Watch a demonstration video.

To start programming the Arduino, you will need to have the Arduino IDE installed from here: http://www.arduino.cc/.

Please be aware that there are some critical bugs in Arduino IDE 1.6.6. Make sure that you install 1.6.7 or higher, otherwise this tutorial will not work! If you have not done follow the steps in this tutorial to setup the Arduino IDE to program Arduino UNO! The Visuino: https://www.visuino.eu also needs to be installed. Start Visuino as shown in the first picture Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino When the dialog appears, select "Arduino UNO" as shown on Picture 2

• Add "Sequence" component
• Add 5x "Analog Value" component
• Add "Analog Multi Merger" component
• Add "Divide Analog By Value" component
• Add "Servo" component

Select "Sequence1" component, double click on it. In the "Elements" Dialog:Drag 5X "Period" element to the left.

Drag 5X "Period" element to the left.Drag 5X "Period" element to the left.

• Select "Period1" element and under properties window set "Delay" to "1000"
• Select "Period2" element and under properties window set "Delay" to "2000"
• Select "Period3" element and under properties window set "Delay" to "3000"
• Select "Period4" element and under properties window set "Delay" to "4000"
• Select "Period5" element and under properties window set "Delay" to "5000" >>this one will be used just for a pause at the end.

Now lets set Degrees for servo motor:Select "AnalogValue1" component and under properties window set "Value" to "0"

Select "AnalogValue2" component and under properties window set "Value" to "60"

Select "AnalogValue3" component and under properties window set "Value" to "120"

Select "AnalogValue4" component and under properties window set "Value" to "180"

Select "AnalogMultiMerger1" component and under properties window set "Input pins" to "4"

Select "DivideByValue1" component and under properties window set "value" to "180"

• Connect "Sequence1">Period1 pin [Out] to "AnalogValue1" pin [clock]
• Connect "Sequence2">Period1 pin [Out] to "AnalogValue2" pin [clock]
• Connect "Sequence3">Period1 pin [Out] to "AnalogValue3" pin [clock]
• Connect "Sequence4">Period1 pin [Out] to "AnalogValue4" pin [clock]
• Connect "AnalogValue1" pin [Out] to "AnalogMultiMerger1" pin [0]
• Connect "AnalogValue2" pin [Out] to "AnalogMultiMerger1" pin [1]
• Connect "AnalogValue3" pin [Out] to "AnalogMultiMerger1" pin [2]
• Connect "AnalogValue4" pin [Out] to "AnalogMultiMerger1" pin [3]
• Connect "AnalogMultiMerger1" pin [Out] to "DivideByValue1" pin [In]
• Connect "DivideByValue1" pin [Out] to "Servo1" pin [In]
• Connect "Servo1" pin [Out] to Arduino digital pin [8]

In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button.

If you power the Arduino UNO module, the Servo motor will start to move according to the degrees you set.

Congratulations! You have completed your project with Visuino. Also attached is the Visuino project, that I created for this tutorial. You can download and open it in Visuino: https://www.visuino.eu
