I dont know why, but I loved the end screen with the servo waggling all over the table. I could watch that for hours. Good video

Metal Gears, and they are pretty Solid.

Last night I was thinking of what I wanted to accomplish today and I settled on learning about servos. This morning youtube recommended this video. I did buy some cheap servos a few years ago but never did anything with them, I guess it's time to hunt them down and apply what I learned.

@mrbizzzare 5 років тому

Thank you, this was the most informative video I have seen to date. I am a beginner with electronics so I will need to watch this a few more times .

@voiceofsurvival1 7 років тому

A video on the 555 timer would be great! Thanks for the quality content.

@jxsingvogel 2 роки тому

I love your handwritten explanations. And everything else in your videos. They are always very well explained and thorough - nothing is taken for granted and they are funny as well. And you keep covering new areas. Being an old electronics engineer myself, I still learn a lot from you. Keep it up!

@Thepantino 7 років тому

Beautiful and clear as usual! No words to describe how much i like your method

@KeithShelton 7 років тому

This is an excellent video! You should share it with some of the bigger RC channels (like FliteTest). Your coverage of *HOW* they work is excellent!

@wimwiddershins 7 років тому

Really great explanation. I'm just starting with servo's and steppers, thanks for the easy to understand intro.

@defensegeneral9893 7 років тому

wow, this is a great channel, you are not just another theory only or salvaging and hacking only electronic channel but you actually know and explain the theory behind them. so there are channels dedicated to pure theory and calculation like professors that hardly do any hands on practical projects, and there are channels by electronic hobbyist that are high school drop outs and could hardly explain a simple theory but just pure hands on electronic salvaging, but this channel is the best of both worlds.

@Sonicspeed3000 5 років тому

Scott, you have one of the most unique voices out there lol, I love it

@Skelloween 6 років тому

Perfect. Just what I needed. Your voice us very clear and easy to understand too. Thanks!

@engineerlawalhamzatademola4267 2 роки тому

I really like your videos I'm working with servo motor and I observed it's not turning up to 180⁰ but your video helped me alot I don't even know what to say because this comment session is not enough to tell how explanatory your video had always been. Love you men 😘 😁

@ThugByChoice 2 роки тому

You Packed so much information in the just five minutes thank you 🙏🏾

@alonsorobots 7 років тому

Your handwriting is so perfect!

@MisterWillX 3 роки тому

Great video! I love that you included the 555 IC option.

@y2ksw1 7 років тому

You also could use a 2 transistor "multivibrator" setup, which btw also offers the pwm counterpart exit for a proportional opposite motor control. This comes handy if you need to control 2 servos with mirrored turns, such as pulling or pushing synchronously an object from both sides.

@printinit6746 7 років тому

Great video, I wish this video was up 1 month ago when I needed it.

@videomatico1 7 років тому

Thanks for all the hard work man! really appreciate everything. I was wondering if you'd make any voice control project. Great videos!!

@world-traveler880 7 років тому

Another great and informative video. Would be nice if you guys made an applications video comparing the 3 common motors (DC, stepper, and servo) and when to use which one.

@user-dv4cf3py8y 5 років тому

It was very(!) useful video for me. I was looking for something like this. Thank you very much! Gratitudes from Russia!)

@6rw1b 7 років тому

@bobcornley 3 роки тому

Perfect! Thanks a lot for explaining this material.

@funkydunky1671 7 років тому

links to other videos for the mentioned components/consepts like 1) stepper motor, 2) duty cycle of a rectangular signal, 3) h-bridge, etc. would be very helpfull. if every video had these, a noob in electronics would be able to drill down recursively to the absolute basics, like voltage, current and transistors and then back up the "tree" to understand the initial video in every possible way. and that would increase views as well, and increase your revenue. just a tip. keep up making these videos, they are very helpful. i find myself frequently referencing to your channel after reading a piece from "The Art of Electronics" for the real world examples.

@theEsperantist 7 років тому

@Retroweld 7 років тому

Love your stuff man!

@deathwish3611 7 років тому

I have no idea what your saying 60% of the time. Why do I watch if I don't know what your talking about? Because I love electronics and your voice is relaxing to me.

@yuchengzhu7178 7 років тому

1. To understand how to control servos as a blackbox, buy Arduino and a servo, and then code to control the servo. 2. After that, if you care about what's inside the servo's control circuit, look it up online to build your own servo from a DC motor.

@martinrocket1436 5 років тому

Lucky_Pickle, you learn how modoes such as serwoes work. easy.

Hey Scott! Nice video about servo motor i request to you to make "Electronic basics #26 on How to find Average and RMS value of AC signal"

@Len02013 7 років тому

Awesome video. As far as I know instead of swapping the pot for 2 resistors, can leave the pot in just leave make it not connected to the rotating bit

@arabfromspace7233 7 років тому

Very good and useful video! Great work! Now, as it was said earlier, it would be really awesome if you did an Electronic Basics video on 555 timer, as it seems to be one of the cornerstones of modern DIY electronics. But, for the same reasons, such a video may take a while to make

The Arduino Servo library can actually define the min max values in microseconds with the command : attach(pin, min, max) The default min is 544 and max is 2400.

@DeepSohelia1 5 років тому

Thank you for this!

@MrRoboticWarfare 7 років тому

Hey, fantastic video! I remember you saying in one of your Q&As that you make your videos in English because it's good practice, which I immensely respect. In that spirit, I'd like to point out one small wording mismatch -- when talking about the 555 circuit as opposed to the Arduino, you say 'capacitors, resistors, etc.' "in this constellation" as you show the schematic. I believe the word you were looking for was "configuration". I want to reiterate that this was a fantastic video, and the only reason I mention this is because you have expressed a desire to sharpen your english... not to be a grammar nazi xD Thanks!

@mk_annan22 7 років тому

Well I'm planning to modify my Arduino Line Follower as a Wall Follower using a Sonar Sensor and Servo. This info was very useful, thanks from Bangladesh. Awaiting for more of your videos

@bgovetas 7 років тому

you should do a video on galvos/galvonometers! they are like servos, but can only move around 90 degrees, but are incredibly fast and precise, which are used for items such as laser machines.

@somethingofmylife 7 років тому

super as always

@eleemm2638 7 років тому

We use servos for our rc cars thats use for the steering very nice video

The difference between a trained engineer and a geek is that the engineer knows why it happens and how to apply it, and the geek just how to apply it. I am neither of them, consider me a tech voyeur. This is great content! Thanks

I was about to say, about the 1ms to 2ms pulse width that for some to utilize full available rotation you have to go beyond. But nontheless, as always you covered it later!

@Pau_Pau9 3 роки тому

Of course, potentiometer! That's what makes servos work!

@chetananam475 5 років тому

Sir, The video is appreciable. I want to know whether servo motors can be used for precise positioning like stepper motors. If yes, how can you stop them anywhere in between 0 to 180°? Any possibility without microcontroller? Thanks.
