- In this tutorial, we will learn how to use multi-servo with potentiometer. We will control 4 pcs servo motor with 4 pcs potentiometer. You can implement your robotic arm projects with reference to this tutorial. Of course we will use external battery / power when doing this.
In the next tutorial, I'll show you how to control servo motor with joystick. Do not forget to subscribe. Thank you for your support. I did not share the code because it is short and it varies according to the number of servo,potentiometer. You can write code by watching the tutorial. This is a better way to learn. I will continue to share long and complex codes.

THANKS FOR THE VID ! I FOLLOWED YOUR VID STEP BY STEP AND I GOT MY BATTERY PACK TO WORK !
Thx you this helped out a lot I was making a robot arm for a project and i have to present in 2 days but i could not figure out how to do until i saw this thx again
Very clear. Nice background music. The lack of narration frees the viewer up to think things through while watching. I also like that you typed each block of code rather than copy/paste/change variable (
Amazing.Simple base for robotic arm.
Hello mert remember me?? It's a very very and very gud idea that you are explaining the code in the video. Now to be frank I just love your job keep it up
love you bro
we had done this project
good choice on background music :)
Love you bro We made this
i love u very much...thank you
Excellent...!!
only great
thank you
thank you thank you thank you.
My first attempt resulted in servo twitching. Then I realised you had connected the servo positives to the same rail as the pots but didn't connect the Arduino VCC. So I changed the servo positives and the positive from the external battery to a separate positive rail, kept the battery and pots ground in the same ground as the pots and connected the Arduino VCC to the pots positive rail.
This worked a treat. Now everything works smoothly. If anybody is interested in a Fritzing diagram, I'll post one.
Malcolm Palmer hello sir. can i have your code. i have zero knowledge of program codes. tnx
There are plenty of Arduino Tutorials on the web including those in Arduino's actual website. In this particular case you will see the Coding in the video at position 5:37. Also you will find how to code potentiometers in the File, Examples in the Arduino menu. You will learn a lot quicker by buying a good Arduino book instead of copying codes. And Experiement ........
Malcolm Palmer I am interested
Hi
I m having the same problem. My servos are twitching and the light on the arduino is blinking. Please tell me what I should do.
Hello. can you give the fritzing diagram?? thank you
I love this video
very nice vid!!
Thanks man
Good work . 👍👍
Thank you bhau
I discovered but a little late your video thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am going to redo this assembly. But I would also like to be able to memorize the positions to make a sort of path to redo movements at will. Have you seen any idea of the code to do ? I obviously look but nothing works correctly ? Fiendly. Sy.
Great best of all greeeeeaatt
I am your big fan dude. You explain things so well. Just an opinion........it will be good if you give link to download code in the description. You may create a blog..........
Mert Arduino Tutorial & Projects THANK YOU
awesome work bro...can u plz make tutorial of using this potentiometer servo memory technique,like record and play function...can u plz help me with tat,THANKS
çok güzel videolar çekiyorsunuz hep sizi takip ediyorum ama türkçe çeviri de koysanız videolarınıza çok daha güzel olacak
Hi, very nice video, can you please make same video with 4 nema 17 stepper motor with speed and direction contol
REMEMBER to add a Pin to the 5v pin with the VCC to complete the circuit
Ty man
Tnx
Nice
?is it better to control servos with potentiometer or joystick thumb
also i couldnt write a code to control servo with joystick the same way you control it with pot
cuz when the joystick back to base the servo too . i hope you get what i mean
can i connect servos by 9 volt battery directly or use resistor between vcc
Excellent. Can you extend it to 16 servos using Arduino servo shield 2+16 with one joystick to record the position of each servo and play automatically thereafter
i connected three servos but one of them not working and other two showing variation in potentiometer values. Can u pls guide me
hi can you make this setup but with a record feature? so basiclly the arduinno can record the movement and play it back? i need the tutorial because im making a robot arm :) would be helpfull if you can help
It sucks there are no videos out there on how to make a robot arm that mimics your arm movemnts Reeee
Great tutorial. However, I don't get to work with my "MeArm" robotic arm. My lecturer had I quick look at it, tested all the four potentiometers and said that there is no enough current for the motors... Im using the same mini servos(tower 9g), 10k pot, arduino Uno and your code. Hope to hear from you! cheers
(soryy im 6 years late)
anyways if your still having trouble..
u can try to use an external battery supply, maybe dont use ur arduino's 5v u could instead connect a 9v battery to the railings in the breaboard that will supply servo and potentiometer. for arduino u can use the same as before. hope this helps!!
Great
How can you connect 9V battery as a power source for servos, where the operating voltage for micro servos is 4.8v - 5v?
I have the same concern I am afraid I am going to damage the servo by doing this.
Hello
Can i work 9v battary like this ?
Does it safe for sg90 servo motors ?
just use your arduino 5v output
@@victorvanmassenhove4825 the pro league
With that is that they all get controlled by the same potentiometer
Dc to dc step down converter 9v step down to 4.5v - 5v
Hello, have you a code to move servo with midi note ? Thank you
but it's awesome 😱😱😱😱
hello, i want to implement robotic arm from this, tell me how can i store the motor locations, so that it can continue automatic without the help of potential meter
Does the potentiometer have to be 10k? Does the 5k potentiometer go?
hello can you add play back infinite loop after teaching it(robot) the movements plzzzzzzz
hello, can we control the speed of the servos if we can how please
Hi
I tested this set up i while ago, and it worked perfectly. I was working on something else and now im back into my project that i need this agin. Btw, great video :)
Before there was no servo jitter, now it is alot. I tried to connect only one. A1 and 3.
I tried to connect the same on A2 and 5, but nothing happens.
Could this mean that its a bad arduino? I think its the same i used earlier.
Even tried with a Nano, same result.
No problem. Yes i have, im useing 6V 2A Power supply.
Sir can you me coad i have much problem in coading
Add a 4700 uf 16v capacitor between the positive and negative railing
But also use a resistor as the capacitor voltage is high
Same thing is happening to me
where is the code?!
No
Sir I have problem in coading
Can you give me coad in suggestion box
can't use charger phone 5v 2A for multiple servo? and to turn on arduino with a 5v 2A phone charger GND and VCC charger phones are connected to the Vin and GND pins on Arduino Uno. Does it work?
❤️❤️❤️
Hello, can i ask in this vedio how can i apply pneumatic or hydronic with out using servo in Arduino instead using servo i use pneumatic?
Does the Potentiometer must need 10k ?
I use 1k and follow your step to build this example...but it doesn't work.
how to do the same with a rotary encoder
Can you do that without the delay and use millis as delay for
making a delay using millis()
Like blink without delay in arduino examples
please tell me what is the best book for learning gcoad
Awesome vid! There is only one problem: When I turn on my Arduino, the motors become very shaky and wobble everywhere. I am using this in a robotic arm, and they are PowerHD 1501MG servo motors. Do you think this problem is from the motor type/voltage or the setup in the robotic arm? Thanks!
Im having the same problem with the micro servos Bram.... Apparently not enough current for the servos... Please let me know if you manage to sort it out! :)
I am also having this problem.
Sir can you give me coad
So even though I followed your code step by step my potentiometer still controlled only one servo and even then the servo spazes out .. help?
can be more motors?
When I tried it, it basically worked (the servos were clearly responding to the potentiometers, but they still all kinda twiched around and sometimes quite heavily. Does anybody know how make it work properly??
Hi, somebody can tell me why Giving 9V to arduino, thru the GND it doesn't blow up?
Can we use 100k potentiometer
trying to get two mg996r 4.8v - 6v 180degree servos to be controlled by pots both B10k, however for the life of me i cant make them budge with the pot. i have a separate supply source( Supplies 5v) , ive more than once gone through Merts' videos to see if there was any error in the coding and wiring. the code and wiring set up works for SG servos but just not my mg996r. suggestions? not enough power from supply? maybe defective product? Mg996r servos are from Tiankongrc
BTW wiring does include GRD connection between power supply and arduino uno. And just tried it using only the arduino power source 5v for both mg996r and pots and actually works but still has a few kinks (twitching) by viewing merts' videos i came to understand that you diminish the kinks by adding a separate power supply, but when i do that the servos stop reading the pot
good but I want multi sensors in one aurdino
Does this work without being connected to a laptop?
the code mite help pls
The .ino if pos?
Bro can do that without using breadboard plzzz
I have a troubleshooting error, need help.
Where is the link to the Code? Used the one above but it is not their.
Sir can you share code for 4 survo motors in an another video step by step
Rica etsem kodları da paylaşırmısın
Why moter get vibration While running
can we use this method to control 4 DOF robotic arm
Yes
yardım! bir diğer videonada yazmıştım..... aynı şeyi yapmama rağmen çalışmıyor 3 tane servo kullanıyorum hepsi bağlıyken hiç hareketo olmuyor motorlardan ufak bir ses geliyor *diiiiiiii...* 3 taneden 2 sine enerjiyi kesincede ayakta kalan sağ sola sağ sola dönüyor MG996R kullanıyrum
can you do the same thing wireless ??
Vasudev Mr bro...u can use hc05 or 06 module ...thats a bluetooth module for arduino
U can control your servos via android bluetooth....u get many apps in playstore
Bro kodları verebilirmisin proje için lazım.
hey can you plz give me the code link??
Beautiful beautiful ✌✌✌✌😭😤😤
Hi Mer,
love ur vids.
I am working on a project that has 15 servos, 15 pots controlled with 2 Nanos, i power them with 6v 4.5ah battery, but they just start shaking too much.
Help appreciated
Kunwar Pratyush bro give the servos a different power supply source....u can use a 12v adapter fr servos ...might stop shaking
Add a 4700 uf 16v capacitor between the positive and negative railing
please provide me the arduino code for this project
HEY, excuse me whats the code for this project? good afternoon. regards
What is the programing code
I've tried recreating this setup twice with the same code, but I can't get it working. Some potentiometers affect all four servos, and some affect none. My potentiometers are 2k not 10k. Could this be the issue? If not, do you know what could?
That worked, thanks.
Can you please show me what you did here. I am having the same issue and it would be greatly appreciated.
6:40 The servo value numbers didn't turn green. need help.
Can you send me your code for this project please please
hocam koduda verseydiniz güzel olurdu
hello mert i posted my idea on your facebook page hope you get it and do it...
Hello, My servo motors twitch multiple times per second when I use this exact same code. I notice yours do not. Why could this be? Thank you!
Jake Plank I have the same problem dude idk what it is. It’s most likely the power sources current output
maybe your potentiometer really loose attachment with board
Alter the delay value to less than 10
and upload
Add a 4700 uf 16v capacitor between the positive and negative railing
But also use a resistor as the capacitor voltage is high
it didn't work for mine i guess....
awake....
but background music is so sad...
I've done the circuit & code correctly but it doesn't work. just one servomotor shakes and the others stay still
Esp32 board how to control 2 servo and 2 potanmeter please code send me
please code driver arduino ide and diagram
no sorry i want to do this project but i don't know how to begin
No me sirbio, estoy utilizando solo 3 servos, no se eso afecte
when i did this, my servo started to jitter?
Add a 4700 uf 16v capacitor between the positive and negative railing
But also use a resistor as the capacitor voltage is high
Bro plzzzz share the code
Sketch?
Where is code
Give me this code please
hello,,u can give me this code ,,,??please..i am your subscriber,,cz i can write this code
I don't know why this not working on my
After uploading the coding the servo motor is not
Hi.... Where coding arduino with Potentiometers ?
I need coding that please
What do you need? It's not very complicated, as you can see in the video, he's using analog read do read the output on the potentiometer and writing the value he gets into the servo's angle. If you want to control something directly with the potentiometer you just need to plug that middle pin as the input energy of whatever you want to control. If you give me more detail maybe I can help you better
Where’s cose
