    As an Electrical engineer your explanation for PWM control over the servo is fantastic. It is concise and the visuals help a lot. I'll be using this material to teach a class , thank you so much.

    Excellent. One of the best videos I've seen. I wish I had this video around when I was into RC model airplanes. In RC, we use either servo "testers" or some of the newer transmitters have a servo test feature built in. It is wild watching all of the servos move the control surfaces through their paces at one time without any intervention.

I want to ask how could I know the power input limit of an electronics object? such as the max power input of a LED, a DC motor.... because when i try the Arduino starterkit, it just tells me what resistor should i connect to the LEDs or DC motor, but if without this guidance, I may burn those electronic things. Thanks.

  • @olemissjim
    @olemissjim 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice intro, very understandable. Would be nice to see the controller toggle the lasers on/off. Would that need a relay or can the board power the two lasers?

    • @Afrotechmods
      @Afrotechmods  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The lasers draw a little too much current at 5V to be suitable to be powered from the Arduino's pins. You could try putting an additional resistor in series and that would help. Otherwise you'd need an external circuit. Transistor would be easier than a relay.

  • @sikliztailbunch
    @sikliztailbunch ปีที่แล้ว

    I know it´s for the sake of demonstration. But wouldn´t be using just mirrors for aiming the laser be the more elegant solution?
