🎮 Servo + Joystick Control Project

This project demonstrates how to control a servo motor using a joystick module. By moving the joystick, the servo rotates smoothly based on the input value. It’s a simple and fun introduction to analog input, PWM, and hardware control.

🛠️ Components Used

Arduino Uno / Nano (or any microcontroller)

Servo motor (SG90 / MG996R)

Joystick module

Jumper wires

5V power source

🔌 Wiring Joystick VRx → A0
VCC → 5V
GND → GND

Servo Signal → Pin 9
VCC → 5V
GND → GND

Make sure all grounds are connected together.

💻 Code #include <Servo.h>

Servo myServo;

int joyX = A0;

void setup() { myServo.attach(9); }

void loop() { int raw = analogRead(joyX); // 0–1023 int angle = map(raw, 0, 1023, 0, 180); myServo.write(angle); delay(10); }

📌 How It Works

The joystick outputs an analog value depending on how far you push it.

The microcontroller reads this value (0–1023).

That value is mapped to a servo angle (0–180°).

The servo rotates in real time as you move the joystick.

🎯 Project Purpose

This project helps beginners understand:

Analog input reading

Mapping sensor values

PWM-driven servo movement

Basic robotics control

🚀 Future Enhancements (Optional)

Add Y-axis to control a second servo

Use a pan/tilt mount

Add smoothing/filters to reduce jitter

Add a display showing angle value
