Question 1

What effect does increasing the pulse width have on a servo motor's position?

  • Moves the servo left
  • Moves the servo to a higher angle
  • No effect

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how angles are defined by pulse signals.

Question 2

Servo motors require PWM for operation.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall our discussion about PWM signals and their purpose.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You need to design a robotic arm with three joints, each controlled by a servo. How would you connect and control these servos using PWM, and what considerations would you have regarding the power supply and control signals?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how many power sources and microcontroller pins you would need.

Question 2

How would you program a series of movements for a robotic arm that picks and places objects? Outline the program logic and factors you need to consider for proper timing.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the types of delays needed for picking, moving, and placing.
