Lesson 87: Controlling a Servo Motor Using a Push-Button Switch
In this lesson, we learn how to control a servo motor using a push button switch. When a push button is pressed, the servo starts moving to the right or left until it reaches 180 and then returns to 0 degrees. The code is fully explained and demonstrated. This code is for a single sensor.
