Servo sweep
A servo on S1 sweeps from 0° to 180° and back.
What you need
- TinkerPie V1 board (or the free online simulator)
- USB-C data cable
Step by step
- Open Servo sweep in TinkerPie Studio. It opens as blocks.
- Press Run to try it in the simulator. Use the sliders and buttons under the board picture to test it.
- Connect TinkerPie with a USB-C cable in Chrome or Edge, press Connect, then Download. Or, with Studio started from the TinkerPie launcher on your computer, open the Arduino C++ tab and press Build & Flash.
- Change something: a colour, a number, a sound. Then run it again.
The code
This is the program the blocks make. The same program runs in the simulator and on the board.
JavaScript
var angle;
basic.forever(function () {
for (angle = 0; angle <= 180; angle += 10) {
servos.setAngle(ServoPort.S1, angle);
basic.pause(40);
}
for (angle = 180; angle >= 0; angle -= 10) {
servos.setAngle(ServoPort.S1, angle);
basic.pause(40);
}
