Modkit Crimp Cards

Servo Card
Parts:

(1) 2.2K Ohm

Resistor
(1) Modkit Crimp Card™

(2) Push Buttons (1) Mini Servo (1) Black, (1) Red, (1) Orange, (5+) Short Crimp
(1) Blue, (1) Green Hookup Wires Tubes

Build:

1. Start by adding the buttons and servo to

the card. For the servo, make sure you
put the connector and wires in first.

2. Cut and strip wires in the lengths below.

Strip a longer amount on one end of each
long wire, so that they can be plugged
into your Arduino.

Build (continued):

3. Attach one short black jumper wire, the

resistor and the green and blue
connector wires to the button pins as
shown. Some of the button pins can be
bent to help hold them in the card.

4. Next wrap the servo’s connector wire

around it (counter-clockwise works best)
and use a rubberband or some tape to
secure it.

5. Now use a short crimp tube to connect

the 2.2k ohm resistor to the remaining
short black wire and the long black wire.

Plug the orange and red connector wires

into the matching colors attached to the
servo.

6. Use some tape to secure the connector

wires to the board (to keep them from
touching each other and creating a
short).

Example Modkit Sketches:

This Modkit Sketch will make the servo move

from left to right 5 times. Make sure the orange
servo wire is connected to the digital PIN 5, and
the red and black wires are connected to the 5V
and GND pins on your Arduino.

The blue wire should be connected to PIN 8 and

the green PIN 12, but we won’t need the
buttons for this sketch.

This second sketch will use the buttons to

change the position of the servo. Because our
buttons are set to true until pressed, we want to
test for if the button pin is not true.
