Week 4 objectives/progress

-Begin assembly on the doorknob assembly when 3D parts are recieved
-work out any quirks in the assembly


Finalized Arduino Code:


// Include the servo library to add servo-control functions:

#include <Servo.h>

// Create a servo "object", called servo1. Each servo object
// controls one servo (you can have a maximum of 12):

Servo servo1;

// Define the analog input pin to measure flex sensor position:

const int flexpin = 0;


void setup()
{
  // Use the serial monitor window to help debug our sketch:
 
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  // Enable control of a servo on pin 9:

  servo1.attach(9);
}


void loop()
{
  int flexposition;    // Input value from the analog pin.
  int servoposition;   // Output value to the servo.

  // Read the position of the flex sensor (0 to 1023):
 
  flexposition = analogRead(flexpin);

  // Because the voltage divider circuit only returns a portion
  // of the 0-1023 range of analogRead(), we'll map() that range
  // to the servo's range of 0 to 180 degrees. The flex sensors
  // we use are usually in the 600-900 range:
 
  servoposition = map(flexposition, 719, 870, 6, 180);
  servoposition = constrain(servoposition, 6, 180);

  // Now we'll command the servo to move to that position:

  servo1.write(servoposition);

  // Because every flex sensor has a slightly different resistance,
  // the 600-900 range may not exactly cover the flex sensor's
  // output. To help tune our program, we'll use the serial port to
  // print out our values to the serial monitor window:
 
  Serial.print("sensor: ");
  Serial.print(flexposition);
  Serial.print("  servo: ");
  Serial.println(servoposition);
 
  // Note that all of the above lines are "print" except for the
  // last line which is "println". This puts everything on the
  // same line, then sends a final carriage return to move to
  // the next line.

  // After you upload the sketch, turn on the serial monitor
  // (the magnifying-glass icon to the right of the icon bar).
  // You'll be able to see the sensor values. Bend the flex sensor
  // and note its minimum and maximum values. If you replace the
  // 600 and 900 in the map() function above, you'll exactly match
  // the flex sensor's range with the servo's range.
 
  delay(20);  // wait 20ms between servo updates
