# MCPWM RC Servo Control Example
|
|
|
|
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
|
|
|
|
This example illustrates how to drive a typical [RC Servo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_(radio_control)) by sending a PWM signal using the MCPWM driver. The PWM pulse has a frequency of 50Hz (period of 20ms), and the active-high time (which controls the rotation) ranges from 1ms to 2ms with 1.5ms always being center of range.
|
|
|
|
## How to Use Example
|
|
|
|
### Hardware Required
|
|
|
|
* A development board with any Espressif SoC which features MCPWM peripheral (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
|
|
* A USB cable for Power supply and programming
|
|
* A RC servo motor, e.g. [SG90](http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/pcheung/teaching/DE1_EE/stores/sg90_datasheet.pdf)

```
|
|
|
|
### Build and Flash
|
|
|
|
Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project.
|
|
|
|
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
|
|
|
|
See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example Output
|
|
|
|
Run the example, you will see the following output log:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
...
|
|
I (0) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on APP CPU.
|
|
I (349) example: Angle of rotation: -90
|
|
I (449) example: Angle of rotation: -89
|
|
I (549) example: Angle of rotation: -88
|
|
I (649) example: Angle of rotation: -87
|
|
I (749) example: Angle of rotation: -86
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The servo will rotate from -90 degree to 90 degree, and then turn back again.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Note that, some kind of servo might need a higher current supply than the development board usually can provide. It's recommended to power the servo separately.
