If you are using Continuous Servos you can. Otherwise if you are using a Normal Servo you can get it to step multiple times, with delays between each subsequent movement, instead of a single snap to direction request, which would mimic a slower rotation.

@Core-Electronics11 ай бұрын
Hey Siebarth! This is a very common code often called a "servo sweep". You could use a loop to steadily increase the position of the servo a little bit at a time. If you want the servo to rotate 180 degrees in 60 seconds, every second it would need to rotate 3 degrees. So you could create a loop that starts at 90 degrees, then every second decreases that number by 3 degrees till you get to -90 degrees in 60 seconds. You can make it even more smoother by decreasing the update time (changing the angle to 1 degree every 1/3 of a second). Here is a link to some example code: core-electronics.com.au/guides/getting-started-with-servos-examples-with-raspberry-pi-pico/#example-1 This does use 0 to 180 degrees though, but the logic is the same. If you have any other questions or need any more help, feel free to ask us on our forums: coreelec.io/forum Cheers mate!

Based on the video, it sounds like the black and red wires just give power, and the yellow wire determines angle because it's connected to the GPIO on the Raspberry Pi. Since the yellow wire controls the angle, the speed of the servo would be controlled from the code-side by changing the angle at slower or faster rates. I'm new to this, but that's my understanding of it.

@Core-Electronics10 ай бұрын
Hey Ayaka, Whilst we don't have a tutorial on that specifically it is not too hard to of a task. You would need to have a variable to count the state, here is what the psuedo code would look like. (in the set up) state = 0 (in the main loop section) if button pressed if state = 0 (set the first servo position you want) state = 1 if state = 1 (set the other servo position you want) state = 0 And with a single button the state will change between these 2 variables.

This is all for a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - For the Power rails: - The 5 V rail appears to passed straight through from the USB and the current is therefore limited to whatever the USB port can supply minus the current being drawn by the board. - The 3.3 V rail can supply a maximum of 50 mA For the GPIO: - The max current you should draw from a single pin is 16mA - The max current you should draw from all the pins collectively should be below 50mA Hope that answers all your questions 😊

@ShellDude012 жыл бұрын
With the direct connection examples you can alleviate jitter by using a different library (rpi_hardware_pwm). Coupled with a one line config.txt change this library enables direct hardware timed communication for (up to) two servos when plugged into the right gpio pins. While pin factories like pigpio definitely help reduce jitter, they do not alleviate it 100%. Playing with pulse widths / etc do nothing to solve it. I'm guessing someone is experiencing a placebo effect.
