Arduino Project: Controlling a Servo Motor with a Potentiometer

In this Arduino project, we will learn how to control a servo motor using a potentiometer. By reading the rotation of the potentiometer through an analog input pin, we can obtain values ranging from 0 to 1023. We will utilize these values to rotate the servo motor from 0° to 180°. First, let’s build the circuit and then proceed to write the program. Connect the power pins (5V and GND) to the + and - breadboard lines, as shown in the image below....

Understanding Voltage in Electronics

Voltage is a fundamental concept in electronics that refers to the electric potential that allows electrons to flow from an area of higher voltage to an area of lower voltage. It is measured in volts (V). The higher the voltage, the greater the flow of electrons in a circuit, which is known as current. To better understand voltage, let’s consider a simple example. Imagine a circuit with an LED light. If you power this circuit with a 1....
