Summary

We were introduced to a whole bunch of new things in this chapter. Let's recap what we learned:

  • Making things move!

  • Different kinds of motors and how they need to be selected based on their application.

  • The amazing servo motors whose exact position, speed, and acceleration can be controlled.

  • Servo horns and attachments for different applications.

  • The Servo library, along with a host of new functions!

  • How to wire a servo to your Arduino.

  • Giving yourself a high five!

You can use the concepts we learned here to make things such as automatic door locks or use the servo to press physical switches or turn knobs.
