5/17/2023 0 Comments Servo motor arduino alternative![]() Well, I came across an AVR development board based on Atmega128, developed by Nex-Robotics, India. Its made of arduino nano, arduino nano shield, servo motor(sg90), distance sensor(HC-SR04), piezo buzzer, bluetooth. I got the ROS sketches running satisfactorily on them. ottopus Ottopus is an octopus-like robot. Wiring skethces and Arduino sketches are fully compatible and all the Arduino libraries also works for Wiring. It had a code memory of 128 k and RAM of 4 kB, could drive 24 servos, so seems satisfactory to my needs. ![]() I found the one with Atmega128 suiting to my requirements. Officially Wiring boards are available with Atmega128 or with Atmega644. PWMServo uses PWM signals for immunity to interrupts, which can corrupt the signals generated by the standard Servo library. Step 1: Materials and Components Materials: cutter hot-melt glue applicator precision screwdriver (adapted to servo-motor screws) some Lego blocks Components: servo-motor 9g Lego gear 16 tooth (light bluish gray) Lego liftarm 1 x 3 Thick (light bluish gray) The Lego components can be easily purchased from Lego parts suppliers such as ToyPro. Arduino was inpired by Wiring and is basically the same thing. It builds on Processing, the open source programming language and environment initiated by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. It's fairly practical if you only need to control a single servo without too much else going on in the Arduino. You need to generate a pulse of between 0.6 and 2.4 microseconds and keep repeating it roughly every 20ms. Wiring is an open project initiated by Hernando Barragán (University of Los Andes, Architecture and Design School). It is possible to control a servo using direct digitalWrite ()s. Button on pin 14 ( A0, I just happened to have that available) and servo on pin 10. This shaft can be positioned to specific angular positions by sending the servo a coded signal. Luckily enough, before setting out to building my own board, I came across a project called Wiring. This code shows the concept of moving a servo without the library. A Servo Motor is a small device that has an output shaft. They are often a standard size although when you buy one you should check the dimensions to make sure it is the size you want. ![]() But since I am still studying and not earning, I didnt had enough resources to buy a brand new Arduino Mega, so at first i decided to design my own board based on an Atmega2560.
