Arduino - Servo.attach()

Description

Attach the Servo variable to a pin. Note that in Arduino 0016 and earlier, the Servo library supports only servos on only two pins: 9 and 10.

Syntax

servo.attach(pin) servo.attach(pin, min, max)

Parameters

  • servo: a variable of type Servo
  • pin: the number of the pin that the servo is attached to
  • min (optional): the pulse width, in microseconds, corresponding to the minimum (0-degree) angle on the servo (defaults to 544)
  • max (optional): the pulse width, in microseconds, corresponding to the maximum (180-degree) angle on the servo (defaults to 2400)

Example

Hardware Required

1×Arduino UNO or Genuino UNO
1×USB 2.0 cable type A/B (for USB-A PC)
1×USB 2.0 cable type C/B (for USB-C PC)
1×Servo Motor
1×Jumper Wires
1×(Recommended) Screw Terminal Block Shield for Arduino Uno
1×(Recommended) Breadboard Shield For Arduino Uno
1×(Recommended) Enclosure For Arduino Uno

※ NOTES AND WARNINGS:

When calling Servo.attach() function, the servomotor rotates to the last value set by Servo.write() or Servo.writeMicroseconds() function, or 90 ° by default. Therefore, To position the servomotors at a certain position upon initialization, use Servo.write() or Servo.writeMicroseconds() function right before calling Servo.attach().
