Outcome

Goal

Taking inspiration from Google's Paper signal experiment, use a servo motor to create an ambient movement of the servo motor.

Process

Exercise 1: Learning how to work with servo motor and use particle.function, particle.variable
Exercise 2: Learning how to control the speed at which the servo motor moves.


// myServoName.write(60);
int servoPin = A1;
Servo myservo;
int servoPosition = 0;


void setup() {
    myservo.attach(A1);
    Particle.function("servo", servoControl);
    Particle.variable( "servoPosition" , &servoPosition , INT );
}

void loop() {
    
}

int servoControl(String move){
    int newPosition = move.toInt();
    servoPosition = constrain( newPosition, 10 , 150);
    myservo.write( servoPosition );
    return 1;
}

        myservo.write( servoPosition );
        delay (150);
    }

Reflection

If I had more time, I would have liked to combine the ambient motion of the servo with particle.function or IFTT so that I can trigger it to start instead of it being on as soon as the particle is connected to power. The reason I haven't been able to get around to this is because, for using the particle.function the code is written as a separate function after the void loop whereas to control the speed of the servo I've used the void loop. I'm not fully sure how to write the syntax to do both simultaneously.
