I can only confirm that controlling a servo with RPI was particularly exciting for me as an RPI enthusiast. This is the technology that inspires. Thanks again for an interesting Sunday.

The straightforward precision with which you explain, diagram, apply and demonstrate is a refreshing and very QUICK way to learn! I've never been anywhere near a Rasberry Pi yet. But I can't wait to meet "familiar friends" when I finally get some! I find your dry humor a SCREAM! Thank you for making this topic interesting.

As is my custom, I went to church this morning and then thought about Explaining Computers to watch this afternoon. I thought, "Wish he'd do another technical how-to type soon". In fact, that's how I found the channel a few years ago. I had a Raspberry Pi Model 1 B and wanted to learn about it and stumbled on to this channel and have been watching ever since. Much to my delight, this was the video waiting for me! Good deal. Thank you. I do like them all, but interested in this type of controller logic from time to time.

I used to run electric R/C cars & trucks, so I really love this stuff. Once again the RPi opens up a whole new world of possibilities. I still have a Zumo robot kit to build, so I'm ready and waiting for another video in this series. Great fun Chris, thanks.

I love any video you make. Always professional and always FULL of valuable information. It's like tech eye candy.

One of the clearest explanations/demonstrations of using servos on the RPi. Also a good demonstration of using thonny.

Again, explaining computers makes a video I find interesting even though I never knew I had any interest in servos. 👏👍

this channel has the best instructional videos. this video here s another great one. the tone and pace of the lesson is easy to follow while narrator exhibits complicated technology.

What kid wouldn't like to learn to code so he can control servos? The Raspberry Pi may be the greatest invention of the age -- it encourages young people to do something other than watch TV and play videogames. It encourages them to use their minds. And Chris is doing an excellent job of showing people what is possible with a Pi. Good job!

Thank for your excellent video. Recently, I have started working with servos with the raspberry pi and this video is the clearest explanation of how to control them on UKposts. Your presentation is, as always, clear, logical and easy to follow and understand. Also, I like your supporting graphics, which help with the wiring up of the project. While I enjoy your many videos on SBCs, I am very grateful for your tutorials on the raspberry pi. Keep up the good work!

Great to see servos in this context. Last time I saw them used was in aircraft modelling in the 70s.

Thank you for taking the extra effort to explain the python code. Also thank you for explaining the power supply requirements.

Nice work! Must say your video quality, camera work and editing are top notch! You make it look easy breezy but I sure there's heaps of production gone into every video. Chris rules!

I really like the building block approach. This looks like the start of a very good thing!

Very interesting I very much appreciate your comments which add a real world perspective. For example, how the SG90 you used is the "most common type servo in the world" I just assumed it was a hobbyist piece of electronics. It really brings home how relevant what you are sharing is.. Thanks again

Very interresting video! Please make more of this practical video's, where you can learn what fun stuff you can do with SBC'S.

As the moment youtube notified me about this new video, I was watching Explaning Computers: the Latte Panda Delta Review. Bought two of those myself. :)

This is really interesting and I look forward to seeing what projects you have in store! Thank you.

Nice little tutorial better than most out there, hope u continue them and show us how to combine them into other codes and with other sensors.

Thank you for this great explained Video. I built my first lamp-program with a raspberry pi just like 2 hours ago, worked on it, understood and now I'm working with servos. Never thought I could do stuff that fast.

Thank you Professor! Fascinating, as always.

A most excellent Raspberry Pi servo example. I have a Picamera Pan/Tilt hat and when tracking an OpenCV object would like to position with tenths resolution to keep dead-band hunting to a minimum. 😎 Most servo examples just show simple motion control. 🥰 Thanks for some new ideas.

Recently started with Raspberry. Thanks for good and understandable explanation.

Love the Raspberry Pi content. Please keep it coming!

Fantastic as always. Looking forward to more upcoming projects like these.

Great timing. I did Arduino servo control circuit and next step was Raspberry Pi. I am very happy, because now I can use your code :)

Very good, takes me back to closed loop servos using a 6502 and deceleration curves. Way back in the dark ages🧐

Excellent stuff. Perhaps I am strange, but your comments do make me smile

Your servo video is inspiring. I've been trying to figure out how to make my own scanner for 16mm movie film. What you showed in the video is going to be a key part of it. I still need to figure out optics but I did figure out how I can use a time lapse function in an animation app in my iPhone to photograph the frames. I had thought about using a single board computer to perform this function as well but moving the film seems like a big enough challenge.

Thank you sir these videos are better than any college class and freely available to anyone a lot of students here in India benefit from these videos who can't quite afford to pay for a college so thank you and keep making such great videos !

Really great and easy to understand video, I love how it's calm, educational and even funny sometimes! I hope we'll see those RPi Zero projects that were mentioned in the update video. I would surely love to use mine to make something cool, it's just collecting dust at the moment. Thanks for this! :)

Thanks Chris, I think you just cured my MeArm's Parkinsons symptoms. It's driven by Arduino but got it with the intention to link up to the Pie instead. Never got around to it, thought the servo's were sketchy. Other commitments killed off any progression, that's all history 01/01/2020 😀

Great video demo'ing the rasp pi pwm. I always wondered what that feature did. Thanks!

Another wonderful video! Love from Johannesburg, South Africa ❤️

Excellent servo motor tutorial, I really enjoy these resources. Thanks!

Sir, this is like the first Raspberry Pi tutorial that works 100% of the time

When I saw the two servo motors working in conjunction with one another it got me thinking to how automated car washes are possibly configured. Except I'd imagine that those companies may not be simply using micro PI systems today's video gives me a bigger illustration to the usage.

Glad you have moved on to SBC implementation.... Thanks for another interesting video....

This is the most well documented piece of well put practical code I have ever seen, since witnessing Linus's kernel 1.0.

A great way to start the week!

Awesome video! Nicely paced and concise explanations. Thank you.

wonderful demonstration of servo. this is the best toturial I have seen about servos. Thanks.

Been following your videos for some time. I like them all, but this one is by far my favorite. I now have a raspberry pi 4 B, partially due to some of the videos on raspberry pi that you have made. I would have purchased it from an Amazon affiliate link from your video if one existed. I'm not sure what that kind of thing entails but it might help to pay for future projects. I can't wait to see what you do with the servos in future videos. Would love to see you control the servos remotely through wifi. Thanks for the great videos. :D

Thankyou Sir ...it was a crystal clear content for a beginner working on servo with Raspberry Pi ....No words to say 😁

Hi Chris, thanks for the great tutorial. I have just completed this as my first raspberry pi 4 project. Very clear and precise instructions and having the code to download is an added bonus. Thanks again . From Sunny Manchester.

Excellent! A precisely detailed explanation. I feel confident I can use servos to control my model railway point motors now.

I'm going out and get me some servos for my Pi right now... Thanks for the easy explanation, I feel I can actually do this now :)

I’m building a little robotics platform for myself and had typed out a little Python Library for myself to handle the wheels but didn’t know for sure if the PWM methods could control more than one servo at a time. With this hindsight I realize it’d be a bit silly if it weren’t capable of doing so. Now I just have to remember where I saved the two libraries, test them out, and add in turning to the Wheel library. Thank you again for the awesome videos!

With just 2 PWM chanels but 4 outputs I had wondered if you can coltrol 4 servos independantly, turnd out you can. All working fine thanks, for the code really speeded things up for me, only used stepper motors before.

Not to argue with you, but, seemed more like 67,65 to me 😉. Thanks as always for charing your knowledge with us. Ordered a Rasp PI 4B for my 11 year old just today.

Thank you for this video. You answered my basic questions on Pi with servos.

Agreed: the most exciting thing ever!!! Thank you for the video.

most exciting thing ever. Great explanation on Duty Cycle.

Was having a hard time with the servo motor I had, thanks for the help!!

Interesting, though a bit difficult for amateurs like me... I extrapolate: we will be able to use this new knowledge soon, in particularly exciting fields! Can't wait! Thank you very much!

That is exciting, i am looking forward what comes next 🙂

I learned a lot. Thanks, Mr. Chris.

Just what I needed. Thanks for the video!

Reminds me of the days when I flew RC aircraft -- that was back in the late '80s and early '90s. We definitely didn't have anything like a Raspberry Pi to control them, however. :-) This looks like it would be a lot of fun to experiment with.

Absolutely incisive! Very grateful for this tutorial. Excited for more!

Why have I not subscribed to your channel already? You sir are one of awesomest dude around here! This is what I was looking for!

Beautifully explained, and very well presented. Thank you sir !

Nice demo thanks. I have a RPi but haven't used it with servos yet.

This is good. I might now control my flaperon with stability augmentation driven by the accelerometer.

Finally got mine all figured out. Thank you for the video. My breakout board was backwards but for some reason the 3.3 v pin was measuring as 5.2 v on a meter so I assumed the configuration was correct.. it was actually backwards. Anyway I had it all hooked up correctly except for the ribbon being backwards. All working now.

A master class in how to explain a relative complex topic with verbal and visual brilliance. Thanks

Just the kind of EC I love, thank you :)

Thanks! I wad planning to do a little project with servos and a Raspberry pi. This was very useful.

I am running a software defined internet connected short wave radio receiver with an RPI4 and have been looking for a simple way to "tune" a loop antenna with a variable capacitor. I think I have now found my solution! thanks very much !

Amazing...! The future is here and well Explained. Thanks.

Awesome channel. Simply love it 👍

Great presentation as always Chris, thanks!

Great Job I didn't know you could move to servos Thanks for your tutorial

Great stuff. Can't wait to see more Pi servo projects. Just watched the hamster one as well. I found that using hardware PWM helped a great deal with the jitter. Software PWM was terrible for camera quality when using it with a pan tilt stand. All that's needed is to install and use the PiGPIO library.

I find this stuff fascinating! Amazing

fantastic, I always thought that the control wire had to be analogue, this opens up entirely new worlds of projects :)

bloody awesome content as always mate, thanks a bunch!

Bonjour Chris, Thank you for yet another great video. I've used servos controlled by an Arduino since I feel it is better suited for this purpose in my opinion. In addition, Arduino has better analogue I/O capabilities. Servos or mechanical interfaces do not require too much processing speed. It would be great to have a video that demonstrates a Raspberry pi as the main processor and using the Arduino to offload all the Electro mechanical functions. The big advantage is that all the coding can be in python.

That was an amazingly detailed video!!

Thanks for the great overview and examples!

Thank you so much, with just this simple code I made a robotic arm for my robotics class

I enjoyed this one a great deal Chris! I gave my 7 year old son an Edison robot for Christmas, which he has been programming via a EdScratch, an online Scratch variant specific to Edison which does a remote compile and delivers an executable to be loaded to the robot. I've asked Edison if they have explored an EdScratch for Raspberry Pi so that the Internet is not there as a distraction for kids. I'd love to see your thoughts to good approaches with robotics and children.

Very helpfull. I like your Raspberry Pi projects. I always learn something new. Thank you.

lol. i am not that interested in computers but love learning and I love this video. well done and thank you. I do like rc cars and other rc stuff so this would something nice to incorporate into that. like have the pi control the lights so when you turn it puts on the directional. when you brake it but on the brake lights

finally after long time real projects

Thank you very much! I learned a lot from the no jitter

Excellent video and explanations. Thumbs up. Just on the side note - you could use a piece of something like Scotch tape to anchor the servos.

with some rusty fingers. I was working on a way to execute input to the servo with argv. You have just help me out so much here.

Great video - I'm hoping to use this knowledge so I can get a servo to move the NoIR Pi Camera IR Filter in front of the camera during the day and remove it during the night. Looking to improve my MotionEyeOS home made PI security camera controlling this through a photoresistor light senstiive sensor and also API via IFTTT. I've seen a few of your videos already from other Pi related searches and they have always been helpful - thanks for making this!

One of the most exciting things ever indeed. Amazing channel 🎩. Keep making awesome videos for us please.

I was planning to use something similar for my tv to pivot to the otherside of the room and vice versa and this solves the trickiest part of it actually. Now i have find some stronger servos...

03:10 Was that a "sponsored" comment? Just kidding. I'm sure we all rectified on our own. Nice video, really got me wanting to try my hands on basic robotics. 👍🏼

This is great, and very well explained!

I love these video's, they are quality and not brian dead rubbish that goes round alot

Thanks for the Explaining, beautiful Presentation. 👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent! Now to take inputs from the RPIs bluetooth controller and send outputs to the servos!

This is why I now love Sundays! 😁

Thanks for the great explanation! Now I'm thinking of all the different thing I might make!

Hello Chris, thank you for the fantastic tutorial. I used the code for my program and it all worked well until I modified the main python program to run continuously. Based on the value on a table, it would trigger the python program to run the servo motor (change the angle), that program would use the same code principles (set up the servo, make the angle changes, then stop and then cleaned it up at the end). For some reason it work fine the first time the servo program is triggered by the main program, but once it triggers it again the program would run fine but the servo would not move. Tried all the different options and it failed to worked (e.g.: not stopping it but cleaning it, etc.). Only way I could finally make it work was to: Always have the servo running (no stop or clean up); Have all the code in one program (The table check and the servo change). Main problem with that solution is the fact that based on my requirements servo is always in used - which could reduce its life significantly. Any ideas on how I can solve this (main issue seems that once the servo is set-up in python and then closed/cleaned it will not move again unless the program python code is completely stop)? Thank you in advance and keep up the great videos

Thank you profesör. I from Turkey. 🙋‍♀️
