Experiment-1

Aim:Controlling actuators through Serial Monitor. Creating different led patternsand

controlling them using push button switches. Controlling servo motor with the help
of joystick.

CircuitDiagram

The hardware part of this project is very easy to make. First, connect the joystick
modulewiththeArduino.TheconnectionsforthejoystickmoduleandtheArduino are as
follows:

• ConnecttheVCConthejoystickmodulewiththe5VpinontheArduino
• ConnecttheGNDpinonthejoystickmodulewiththeGNDontheArduino
• ConnecttheVERpinonthejoystickmodulewiththeA0ontheArduino
• ConnecttheHORpinonthejoystickmodulewiththeA1ontheArduino

Afterthat,connecttheservomotorswiththeArduino.Theconnectionsforservo motors
with Arduino are as follows:

• ConnecttheblackwireonboththeservomotorswiththeGNDontheArduino
• Connecttheredwireonboththeservomotorswiththe5VpinontheArduino
• Connecttheyellowwireonthefirstmotorwithpin8ontheArduino
• Connecttheyellowwireonthesecondmotorwithpin9ontheArduino

CodeExplanation

Firstofall,weincludedthelibraryfortheservomotorwhichwillhelpuswith
makingthecodeeasier.Then,weinitializedtwovariables,oneforeachofthetwo
servomotorswhichwillhelpusinusingthelibraryfunctions.

#include
Servoservo1;
Servoservo2;

Then,weinitializedthepinswherewehaveconnectedtheverticalandhorizontal
pinsonthejoystickmoduleandalsothesignalpinsontheservos.

intx_key= A1;
inty_key= A0;
intx_pos;
inty_pos;
intservo1_pin=8;
intservo2_pin=9;
intinitial_position=90;
intinitial_position1=90;

Then we tell the Arduino where we have connected the servo pins and also moved the
servomotorsattheinitialposition,whichis90degrees.Afterthat,wedeclaredboth
theverticalandhorizontalpinsonjoystickmoduleastheinputpins.

servo1.attach (servo1_pin ) ;
servo2.attach (servo2_pin ) ;
servo1.write (initial_position);
servo2.write(initial_position1);
pinMode (x_key, INPUT) ;
pinMode (y_key, INPUT) ;
Intheloopfunction,wereadthevaluesforthehorizontalandtheverticalposition
fromthejoystickmoduleandsavedtheseinthevariables.Thenweapplieda
conditionthatifthevalueforthehorizontalpositionislessthan300,thenthefirst servo will
move towards the right.

x_pos = analogRead (x_key) ;

y_pos = analogRead (y_key) ;
if (x_pos<300){
if(initial_position<10)
{
}
else{
initial_position = initial_position - 20;
servo1.write ( initial_position ) ;
delay(100);
}
}

If the value for the horizontal position is greater than 700, then the servo will move
towardstheleft.Similarlyfortheverticalpositionofthejoystickmodule,ifthevalue is less than
300, then the second servo will move towards the left, and if the value is
greaterthan700,thenthesecondservowillmovetowardstheright.

if(x_pos>700){
if(initial_position>180)
{
}
else{
initial_position = initial_position + 20;
servo1.write ( initial_position ) ;
delay(100);
}
}
