Servo motor with IR remote and Arduino |

Updated: Feb 23

In this #DIY project, will learn how to control a servo motor with an IR remote by interfacing it with #Arduino using #Tinkercad software. |

Hardware Requirenments - Servo motor with IR remote |

a) Arduino UNO board:

Arduino is an open-source programmable microcontroller that can be programmed to sense and control objects in the physical world. By responding to sensors and inputs the Arduino board can interact with a wide variety of outputs such as LED’s, motors, LCDs, etc. | Servo motor with IR remote |

To know more about the Arduino UNO, refer to this article.

b) Jumper Wires:

Jumper wires are a group of electrical wires, with a connector at each end, which is used to interconnect the components of a prototype circuit.

c) Breadboard:

A #breadboard is a construction base for building electronic circuits. It has many holes into which circuit components like ICs and resistors can be inserted.

The holes in the terminals are connected horizontally and the holes in the middle are connected vertically.

d) IR Sensor:

#IRsensor is an electronic device that detects IR radiations in the physical world. They are commonly used in object detection systems.

e) IR Remote:

It is a wireless remote control device that is used to operate audio, video, and other electronic equipment in a room through the detection of IR radiations.

f) Servo Motor:

A servo motor is an actuator that allows us to control position, velocity, and acceleration.

Working

If button 1 is pressed then the servo turns by an angle of 45 degrees and after a delay of 1000ms, it returns to its initial position. If button 2 is pressed then it turns by an angle of 90 degrees and after a delay of 1000ms, it returns to its initial position. If button 3 is pressed then it turns by an angle of 135 degrees and nd after a delay of 1000ms it returns to its initial position. If button 4 is pressed then it turns by an angle of 180 degrees and after a delay of 1000ms, it returns to its initial position.
