Communication Between Processing and a Servo

In this tutorial , you’ll explore the communication by talking with Processing and allow the processing to control the servo.

Parts Required

1. Arduino Kit

2. Servo

3. Jumper Wires

Circuits

(This circuit is from Vilros Ultimate Starter Kit Guide)

In the end, it should look like this:

You see, it’s really very simple to connect the servo to the arduino board.

Now, let’s build the communication!

1. Download Processing.

2. Here is a tutorial from Sparkfun to learn how to build the connection between Arduino and Processing .

3. So far we’ve shown that Arduino and Processing can communicate via serial that allows data to flow both ways. Coming after: making our servo rotate.

Power

Connect the red from servo to +5V on arduino.

Ground

Connect black/brown from servo to Gnd on arduino.

Signal

Connect white/orange from servo to pin~9 on arduino.
