This repository explains the working of the code that I made to communicate with an Arduino using Python, which is used to drive upto 6 servo motors at once.
The code accepts values between 1000 and 6180.
Once the user inputs a value in the given range, the code sends the input value to the Arduino.
Why the data input range is between 1000 and 6180 is that the value at the thousand's position indicates which servo motor to control. And the rest of the number indicates the angle to which the selected servo should turn to. For example, let's say you want to turn the 4th servo to an angle of 120 degrees. The data that needs to be passed to the code would be 4120.
The code receives the value sent by the python code. This value is then split into two. the value at the thousand's position is extracted and stored into a variable servonum. Every value other than the one at the thousand's position is extracted and stored into a separate variable angle. The value stored in servonum is used as input for a switch case, and inside the switch case the value stored in angle is used to rotate the respective servo to the desired angle.
The code will be made so that it can be used as a function.
