Multiple Servo Motor Control with Joystick and Arduino

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use multi-servo with Joystick. We will control two pcs servo motor with one Joystick. You can implement your robotic arm projects with reference to this tutorial. Of course we will use external battery / power when doing this.

Lovely clear tutorials Mert. Thank you. Just one concern, the servo in my kit looks identical (SG90), yet checking its operating voltage online it's 3.0-7.2v (ideally 4.8v). I don't want to blow it on my first attempt.

[@daxliniere]

The problem is that when you release the joystick, the motor returns to the centre position. The code also needs some averaging to account for the jittery values from the A/D converter.

[@agustinvercesi9764]

Hi, would the code work the same with an arduino nano or change into something? Thank you

[@Fitzling]

I think it would be the same, just watch out. A servo needs to be connected to PWM and in don't know if the Nano has enough

[@TDensmores]

Thank you for this video can i download the code?

[@KIVPush]

Hello, wonderful video. I built one with 4 servos. 2 servos are controlled if the button is not pressed. The other 2 are controlled when the button IS pressed. I can only control the second 2 when the button is pressed and held down. Is there a way to write a code so each time you click the button it switches back and forth between each servo set? Like if I click the button and then release it, it switches to one set. If I click it again and release it, it switches back to the first set. Is there a way to do this?

[@JustinS06]

I know I'm late, but for those looking for the same thing here it is: First of all, it's really easy. You just need a boolean which is either True (1st mode) or False (2d mode). At the start of loop(), check if the button has been pressed, if so do this: bool Mode = True// True will be the 1st mode and False is the 2d mode. void loop(){ if (the button has been pressed) Mode = !Mode // Doing this sets mode equal to the opposite of mode. So: if it's True, it will be False and vice versa. // check if Mode is true, if so, control the first 2 servos // check if Mode is false, if so control the last 2 servos }

Do you know where I can possibly get a generic sketch for a generiric arduino powered hexapod? So that I could control with a PS dualshock gamepad via bluetooth. I'm way too stupid to write it myself.

[@vg5028]

I read that it is not recommended to power an Arduino using a 9V battery as in order to step the voltage down, the Arduino's on board linear voltage regulator has to waste a lot of power. This causes 2 things: 1. The regulator gets quite hot 2. The battery is drained very quickly as 40% of its energy is wasted as heat It is recommended to use an external voltage regulator to step down the 9V to the Arduino's compatible 5V, which would solve the arduino's on board regulator's heating issue. Even better would be to use a switching regulator, which would solve both the battery drainage and heating issue.
