Servo Motor is a DC Motor equipped with error
sensing negative feedback to control the exact
angular position of the shaft. Unlike DC Motors
it will not rotate continuously. It is used to make
angular  rotations  such  as  0­90°,  0­180°  etc.
Stepper  Motors
(https://electrosome.com/stepper­motor/)  can
also  be  used  for  making  precise  angular
rotations.  But  Servo  Motors  are  preferred  in
angular  motion  applications  like  robotic  arm,
since  controlling  of  servo  motors  are  simple,
(https://electrosome.com/wp­
needs  no  extra  drivers  like  stepper  motor content/uploads/2012/06/Servo­Motor.gif)
(https://electrosome.com/stepper­motor/)  and
Servo Motor (https://electrosome.com/servo­motor/)
only angular motion is possible.

Operation of Hobby Servo Motor is very simple, it has only three wires, two of them (Red and
Black)  used  to  provide  power  and  the  third  wire  is  used  to  provide  control  signals.  Pulse
Width  Modulated  (https://electrosome.com/pwm­pulse­width­modulation/)  (PWM
(https://electrosome.com/pwm­pulse­width­modulation/))  waves  are  used  as  control  signals
and the angular position is determined by the width of the pulse at the control input. In this
tutorial we are using a servo motor having angle of rotation from 0­180° and angular position
can be controlled by varying the pulse width between 1ms to 2ms.

Note  :  Please  refer  the  datasheet  of  your  Servo  Motor,  before  using  the  program  in  this
tutorial. Angular range and control pulse width are different for different servo motors.

Interfacing Servo Motor with Atmega32 Microcontroller – Circuit Diagram

8 MHz Crystal is used to provide the required clock for Atmega32 Microcontroller and 22pF
capacitors are used to stabilize the operation of the crystal. 10KΩ resistor and 10μF capacitor
is used to provide the required Power On Reset (POR) to the microcontroller. Control of servo
motor is connected to the first pin of PORTC (RC0), which is declared as an output pin in the
program.
