Arduino – Control Servos with Joystick

We know how to make Servo move in previous lessons.

but furthermore, we're going to learn how we can control Servos with Joystick! 🙂

Let's take a look at Software side.

If anyone does not know 'How to upload our sketch to Arduino', then please click the following article before you go.

HowTo Upload Sketch  

Step 1) Include the Servo library for controlling Servo motor

#include <Servo.h>

Step 2) Declare Servo pins and Joystick pins we want to use with

int ServoPin1 = 3; 
int ServoPin2 = 5; 
int joyX = 0; 
int joyY = 1; 
int joyVal;

Step 3) Create Servo objects to control  Servos

Servo servo1; 
Servo servo2;

Step 4) Attach the servo to the 3 and 5 pins

void setup() 
{   
 servo1.attach(ServoPin1); 
 servo2.attach(ServoPin2); 
}

Step 5) Reading analog values from joyX and joyY and mapping them into servo1 and servo2 with 15ms delay.

void loop() 
{ 
 joyVal = analogRead(joyX); 
 joyVal = map(joyVal, 0, 1023, 0, 180); 
 servo1.write(joyVal); 
 joyVal = analogRead(joyY); 
 joyVal = map(joyVal, 0, 1023, 0, 180); 
 servo2.write(joyVal); delay(15); 
}

As you can see from the outcome video, it's pretty cool!.
