Servos and Signal Conditioning

     In this exercise, a VEX Servo was powered by a 5V power supply and connected to the Arduino. A simple code was written and the Arduino was programmed to cause the servo to move from its 0 degrees position to its 180 degress position with a short delay in between the movement.

     This exercise was essentially an extension of the previously discussed exercise. Instead of having a simple program control the position of the servo, a potentiometer was placed into the circuit to give the user more control over the servo's position. The position of the servo moved accordingly to the position of the potentiometer.
