Week 09 - Output Devices

My challenge this week is to create a board with which I can control a servomotor using the XIAO 2040 microprocessor and a potentiometer..

Control board design.

As I am not yet familiar with electronics, I obtained a simple control model of a servomotor with a potentiometer and the microprocessor, the elements used are:

- XIAO 2040 Microprocessor.

- Servo Hk 15138.

- Potentiometer: POT 1K OHM 1/2W CARBON LINEAR 24 .

- Coper clad circuit board.

I did some research and made a sketch of the design I want to make.

Based on the design I began to design the control board with the "fusion" software, I decided to put in some extra ports in case I need to use them in the future.

Manufacturing of the control board.

Unfortunately this week we continue to have electrical problems at FABLAB, the problem was only solved on Monday afternoon. That is why I have decided to modify the first board I made in this course in order to adapt it for this new function.

Programing

Programming was done using micropython, through Thonny.
