Chapter 7. Controlling Servos with
Arduino
In this chapter, you'll learn how to use the basic capability of Arduino to control servo mo-
tors.
Servo motors are important because you can use them to create all kinds of useful arms,
legs, or even pan-and-tilt mechanisms to make really cool robots that can walk, or pick up
things, or move sensors around. You'll then take this to the next level, learning how to add
more functionality using a shield to control the speed and direction of a whole set of servos
to build a walking hexapod robot.
