Summary of the Circuit

This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller board and a servo motor. The Arduino UNO is used to control the position of the servo motor by sending pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals through one of its digital pins. The servo motor is powered directly from the Arduino's 5V output and is grounded to the Arduino's ground (GND) pin. The control signal for the servo is provided by the Arduino's digital pin 6 (D6).

Documented Code

#include <Servo.h>
Servo Inuka;

void setup() {
  // Attach the servo on pin 6 to the servo object
  Inuka.attach(6);

}

• Filename: servo.ino
• Description: This code snippet is for the Arduino UNO microcontroller. It includes the Servo library, which provides easy control of the servo motor. In the setup() function, the servo motor is attached to digital pin 6. The loop() function sets the servo to a fixed position of 100 degrees continuously.
