Control a Servo Motor with a Potentiometer using Arduino (Code & Circuit)

Image
Huge thanks to all the subscribers! My recent video on this project has already crossed 20,000 views . Since so many of you requested the details, I’m writing this post to share the full setup and code. This project demonstrates how to control a Servo Motor using a Potentiometer. By rotating the potentiometer, the Arduino reads the analog signal and converts it into a precise angle for the servo, making it a perfect foundation for robotics projects. Wiring Connections Component Arduino Pin Potentiometer (Center Pin) Analog A0 Potentiometer (Side Pin 1) 5V Potentiometer (Side Pin 2) GND Servo Signal (Orange/Yellow) Digital Pin 7 Servo VCC (Red) 5V Servo GND (Brown/Black) GND Arduino Code #include<Servo.h...

Indian vs International Number System Chart (Lakh, Crore, Million, Billion)

Ever found yourself scratching your head when someone mentions a "Crore" or a "Billion" and you're trying to figure out the equivalent? You're definitely not alone! It's super common to get a little mixed up because the way we name and group really big numbers actually changes depending on where you are in the world. But don't worry, it's pretty straightforward once you see them side-by-side! This quick guide is here to clear up any confusion and help you smoothly switch between the Indian and International ways of looking at numbers: No. of Zeros Indian System International System Digit Representation 0 One One 1 3 Thousand Thousand 1,000 5 Lakh Hundred Thousand 1,00,000 ...

Introduction to LDR: How Light Dependent Resistors Work?

Have you ever wondered how streetlights automatically turn on at night and off in the morning? Or how some electronic devices adjust their brightness based on the surrounding light? Often, the answer lies in a simple yet ingenious component: the Light Dependent Resistor , or LDR . What is an LDR? An LDR, also known as a photoresistor, is a special type of resistor whose resistance changes depending on the amount of light falling on it. It's a electronic sensor, and its core functionality revolves around the principle of photoconductivity . A Brief History The phenomenon behind the LDR was first observed way back in 1873 by Willoughby Smith . He noticed that the resistance of certain materials changed when exposed to light. This discovery paved the way for the development of modern photoconductive devices like the LDR. How Does it Work? Inside an LDR, a semiconductor material is used. When light shines on this material, photons (light particles) strike the a...
