2.2 The introduction of the Servo
2.2.1 Servo
Servo motor refers to the engine that controls mechanical component operation
in the servo system. It is a kind of auxiliary motor indirect transmission device. The
servo motor is a gear motor that can rotate only 180 degrees. It is controlled by
sending pulses from the microcontroller. These pulses tell the server where to move.
The servo motor system includes housing, circuit board, non-core motor, gearing and
position detection. Servo motor is shown in the figure:
