How to control a servo

Dependencies:   Servo mbed

Fork of Program3_Servo by Robotics Kit Workshop

Seeed_Arch_link_Servo

Setup

1. Connect the Temperature sensor as well as the Servo to the Seeeduino-Arch-Link board, and then connect the board to you PC using the micro-USB cable.
2. The board mounts as a mass-storage device (like a USB drive). Verify that you can see it (drive name will be MBED).
3. Go to http://developer.mbed.org
4. Create an ARM mbed account if you do not have one.
5. On the top right corner, click the Compiler button.

An IDE should open. Congratulations!

On Windows: To see debug messages, install the serial driver.

Debug messages: We can talk to the board via a serial port, but you might need some software. Read this doc and install required software (like PuTTY or CoolTermon Windows).

Locally: If you like things locally, you can do so by exporting to a supported toolchain.

I very much recommend to just use the online IDE, as it makes it easier for us, but if you want to continue hacking in the future, this is a nice way.

6. Try to finish the code under ' YOUR CODE HERE : make code run between 0-1 only!' for challenge!

1. Now press Compile
2. A file downloads (Seeed_Arch_link_Servo.hex)
3. Drag the file to the 'MBED' disk
4. After flashing, hit the 'Reset' button to start the program.
