Servo Set Pulse
The Servo Set Pulse function allows users to configure a specified pin on the micro:bit as an analog output. This function is essential for controlling servo motors by setting the pulse width, which determines the position of the servo. The period is set to 20 ms, and users can specify the pulse width in microseconds. This feature is particularly useful in robotics and automation projects where precise control of servo positions is required.
Key Features:
- Pin Configuration: Easily configure any of the micro:bit pins (P0 to P4, P10) for servo control.
- Pulse Width Control: Set the pulse width in microseconds to control the servo's position accurately.
- Example Usage: The function can be called with a simple command, such as
pins.servoSetPulse(AnalogPin.P1, 1500), to set the servo to a specific position.
Use Cases:
- Robotics projects where servo motors are used for movement.
- Interactive installations that require precise control of mechanical components.
- Educational projects that teach programming and electronics using the micro:bit.
