A basic tutorial on how to connect a hobby servo to an Arduino and then how to use a FlexiForce Pressure Sensor to have the servo move based on pressure applied to the sensor! Tutorial done with parts purchased from Adafruit and SparkFun. Sponsored by NYC CNC.

What do you mean? Write Arduino code? It’s not hard! Plenty of online examples which are? pretty easy to follow along

Great video man, i wish i knew how to? write my own codes.

This error has nothing to do with your code. Rather, it means your computer isn’t talking to? the arduino correctly. You might have the wrong COM port selected. Or, more likely, you need to choose the correct Arduino board in the tools/board menu

thanks!! I appreciate it!?

This is the best arduino tutorial I’ve seen.? You explain everything very good and it doesn’t get boring. Nice job 🙂

it’s tricky to troubleshoot without seeing more – but can you try a different servo? check all of your wires – ensure they are connected. Could be a bad wire – especially a? ground. Post a video if you cannot figure it out and I’ll take a look

I have a problem with my servo: When i hook it up like you do and upload the sample sweep program, my servo starts randomly moving. Also my arduino starts to connect and? reconnect all the time. Got any help for me? Thanks

It’s supposed? to be rather easy. the arduino code is available online.
However, electronics beyond an LM317 or code more complicated than HTML just perplexes me to no end. So a tutorial on how to put it all together would be awsome.
And thanks for the channel, I’ve learned so much watching your videos.

That helps a lot.? Thanks for the reply.
You’re welcome!?

This is just an example, but the ability to control motors, lights, etc (output devices) with switches, sensors, etc (input devices) is incredible to me. Anything from home automation (automatically open curtains when sun is out), auto-email you if it detects a water? leak. Or you could use it to count how often someone walks over a sensor. Endless possibilities. Does that help?

Interesting? – I’ll have to see how hack-able those calipers are.
Thanks!?

Will do! Let me know if you have? a specific topic of interest
Thanks so much for …
Thanks so much for this! look forward to more! please do? more 🙂

Love the new intro, even if you copied Tormach’s ideas :-). ? Been meaning to film something like that myself, it looks great buddy.
thanks for the …
thanks for the upload. good stuff as always:)
would love to see a tutorial of how to interface one of those cheap chinese digital? calipers to the arduino equipped with an LCD screen displaying the position of the caliper.
Very interesting. …
Very interesting. Just a quick question though. What would the intended? purpose of something like this be?
Nice job. Thanks …
Nice job. Thanks for? doing this
