Excellent and Such a simple explanation ….. People like you make this world a better place....

[@MarineSimFan]

Maker 101 it's a nice teacher. (btw nice tutorial thank you) I don't think anyone on KZbin has ever shown how to control both servos with a single 2-axis joystick in different way. both the same time and.... The scheme of this operation is apparently simple, using one 2-axis joystick, but I don't know how to program it. Of course, a bidirectional version for servos is enough. description: joystick front: both engines forward joystick reverse: both engines reverse joystick left: left engine reverse right engine forward joystick right: left engine forward - right engine reverse It would be useful for a tank with A2122 brushless motors - connected to ESC controllers, but I haven't seen such a tutorial on Arduino yet. 😓

Here is code people //add the servo libary #include //define our servos Servo servo1; Servo servo2; //define joystick pins (Analog) int joyX = 0; int joyY = 1; //variable to read the values from the analog pins int joyVal; void setup () { //attaches our servos on pins PWM 3-5 servo1.attach(3); servo2.attach(5); } void loop () { //read the value of joystick (betwen 0-1023) joyVal = analogRead(joyX); joyVal = map(joyVal, 0, 1023, 0, 180); //servo value betven 0-180 servo1.write(joyVal); //set the servo position acording to the joystick value joyVal = analogRead(joyY); joyVal = map (joyVal, 0, 1023, 0, 180); servo2.write(joyVal); delay(15); }

Just bought an Arduino recently, and I hadn't read any of the documentation yet. Took me an hour to try and fiddle with the wonky 0-512,512-1024 range with some crude equations to have the servo move with the switch. Kept freezing and moving occasionally before I decided to look for a video like this :P.

[@Maggot-ov4eu]

This is so under appreciated. Thy is had to be the best tutorial

[@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.

[@PatrickGreil-n6j]

Have you found a solution to this?

[@fazmisharaff8839]

Plz make a wireless version using a bluetooth module but great video you just got a new sub!

[@vivekdixit5149]

[@MrHenryrolls]

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.

[@derrickchilders6185]

It’s blew my board! Don’t try it.

[@mikeoxmaul9386]

​@Frectieyou don't need to add a battery if that is the servo spec, just plug it straight into the board

my servos were good and the projectwas very good. and it worked well. i unpluged the arduino. and after 30 minutes i pluged it again the 2 servos become crazy.

[@veronicastanley-hooper9861]

Bad servo motor or tired battery. Mine did this on start up and I swapped out the motor and it worked fine. Later the set-up didn't work. I swapped out the battery and it worked beautifully.

[@loganmitchell2388]

best tutorial ive seen so far! how would I make the servo stop at its givin location when I let off of the joystick?

[@b3dubbs72]

probably set the position of the servo if the joystick returns to neutral as the last read value. I'm not sure how to you'd go about doing that but I'm sure there's a 'last' function

[@spamton_bigshot28]

I understand this very well but could you please tell if and how it possible to add more joysticks and servos for those ones all at once. If so thankd ❤

and also i can propose you to make mutated scheme - where single joystick controlling one servo and one regular stepper, or two steppers and one motor will be controlled by joystick button.

[@hetshah7490]

Simple and sweet Thank you I will try it in avr codings

[@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.

[@ZenHulk]

i'm a beginner....can i hook it up just as you directed, but have two servos work on the Y and one on the X axis. Thank You i find lots of useful stuff on your tutorials.

[@四喜丸子-c7q]

hello ! I like your video very much. It is clear and funny. What' s more, the music and the background are very well. However, I have a question: How can I use arduino with mini-joystick to control serve motor wirelessly ? I don't know if you have time to reply me, but I look forwarding to hearing from you.

[@dhakshingk]

hi there, awesome video, but do you know if it is possible to connect the joystick ground and vcc to the breadboard?

[@magicianofelectronics951]

if I have got you right, Yes, you can do it by making common Vcc and ground line on bread board,

[@JustinS06]

No I wouldn't. There are two circuits here: the 9v circuit for the 2 servo's, and the 5v circuit for the joystick. You could of course hook the ground up to the other side of the bread board. As long as it isn't interfering with the other circuit, you'll be fine.

[@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 }

Me too

[@kaidnl]

Hello Mert, I want to do the same as this, only I want the stepper to make little steps as I move the joystick. and when I centre the joystick It should stay at the last location until I move the joystick again, hope you understand what I mean. Can you show us how you would change the code for that?

[@teedee9393]

Does the battery need to be connected directly to the breadboard, or can I connect it via the Arduino's power port?

The has 0-10vdc. As you turn to the left it closes the valve and to the right opens it. It needs to be somewhat sensitive. Can this be done with Arduino Thanks Charlie
