Air Vent servo control

The air vent subproject is part of the Ikea Lack enclosure, more exact to the Air vent or the temperature control. The idea is simple; the vents will be open and close with by a servo, the decision to open or close the vents depending on the current temperature inside the enclosure.

The project is based on Servo automated iris/aperture for airflow control by AcE_Krystal

First Sketch (Basic Control)

First, we are going to create a sketch to control the servo. It will move 180 degrees right, later 180 left.

The code will be as follow:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo servo_air_vent;

int servo_position = 0;

void setup() {

  servo_Air_vent.attach (9);

}

void loop() {

  for (servo_position = 0; servo_position <=180; servo_position +=1){

    servo_Air_vent.write(servo_position);
    delay(10);
  }

  for (servo_position=180; servo_position >= 0; servo_position -=1){

    servo_Air_vent.write(servo_position);
    delay(10);
  }
}

1. We are going to import the library #include <Servo.h>
2. we are going to give a name to the servo, in this case, "servo_air_vent" Servo servo_air_vent;
3. we define the initial position int servo_position = 0;
4. in the setup block we tell Arduino where the servo is connected Servo_Air_vent.attach (9);
5. In the loop block we create 2 for that will move the servo to the right and later to the left
