Page 8: How To Set-Up Arduino Ide
How to set-up Arduino IDE If the Arduino IDE is not installed, follow the link and download the installation file for the operating system of choice. The Arduino IDE version used for this eBook is 1.8.13. For Windows users, double click on the downloaded .exe file and follow the instructions in the installation window. - Page 9 For Linux users, download a file with the extension .tar.xz, which has to be extracted. When it is extracted, go to the extracted directory and open the terminal in that directory. Two .sh scripts have to be executed, the first called arduino-linux-setup.sh and the second called install.sh.
- Page 10 Almost all operating systems come with a text editor preinstalled (for example, Windows comes with Notepad, Linux Ubuntu comes with Gedit, Linux Raspbian comes with Leafpad, etc.). All of these text editors are perfectly fine for the purpose of the eBook. Next thing is to check if your PC can detect an Atmega328p board.
- Page 11 If the Arduino IDE is used on Windows, port names are as follows: For Linux users, for example port name is /dev/ttyUSBx, where x represents integer number between 0 and 9. - 9 -...

Page 18: Libraries And Tools For Python
Libraries and tools for Python To use the module with the Raspberry Pi, the library RPi.GPIO has to be installed. If the library is already installed, running the installation command only updates the library to a newer version. To install the library, open the terminal and run the following commands, one by one: sudo apt-get update &&... -
Page 19: Python Script
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(servo_pin,GPIO.OUT) GPIO.PWM(servo_pin,50) # 50 Hz (20 ms PWM period) pwm.start(7) # start PWM by rotating to 90 degrees print('MG90S Micro Servo-motor script') print('[Press Ctrl + C to end the script!]\n') try: while True: pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(2.0) print('Rotating to 0 degrees') time.sleep(2) - Page 20 Save the script by the name mg90s.py. To run the script open the terminal in the directory where the script is saved and run the following command: python3 mg90s.py The result should look like as on the following image: To stop the script press ‘CTRL + C’ on the keyboard.
