1.

​ Open up the Arduino IDE


2.​ Copy and paste the code below into the IDE
3.​ Connect the Arduino to the computer using a cable
4.​ Click on “Tools” and select the Port and Board
5.​ Click the arrow in the top left hand corner to upload the code onto
the Arduino

6.​ Spend a lesson changing the values to control the motion of the
crane

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo1; // create servo object to control a servo


Servo myservo2;

int potpin1 = A0;


int potpin2 = A1; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer

int val1;
int val2; // variable to read the value from the analog pin

void setup() {

[Link](9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo


object
[Link](10);
[Link](9600);
}

void loop() {

val1 = analogRead(potpin1); // reads the value of the


potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)
val1 = map(val1, 0, 1023, 0, 200);
val2 = analogRead(potpin2);
val2 = map(val2, 0, 1023, 0, 200); // scale it to use it with the
servo (value between 0 and 180)

int potpin = A0;

[Link]("value of x - ");
[Link](val1);
[Link]("value of y - ");
[Link](val2);

[Link](val1);
[Link](val2);
