II Methodology
Controlling Servo Motor Speed with Arduino:
• The speed of a motor can be controlled by varying the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
of the control signal.
• Arduino generate a PWM signal given by the user, and further PWM signal is
responsible for actuator speed control.
• To control the speed of a motor, you need to connect the signal pin of the servo motor to
one of the digital pins of the Arduino board.
• Then, you need to write a program that generates a PWM signal using the analog Write
() function.

The PWM signal should have a frequency of 50 Hz and a duty cycle that
corresponds to the desired speed of the motor.
To control the speed of a motor with Arduino, the following steps should be
followed:
• Connect the servo motor to the Arduino board.
• Set the initial position of the servo motor using the write () function.
• Use the write Microseconds() function to control the speed of the servo motor by
varying the pulse width of the control signal.

• The speed control of servo motors with Arduino is a useful technique i.e., applied in
various industries such as robotics, automation, and manufacturing.
• Using Arduino, the process becomes more accessible, cost-effective, and customizable.
