piServoCtl 1.0.0

This is a servo motor control library for Raspberry Pi.

piServoCtl

Overview

This is a servo motor control library for Raspberry Pi. In addition to normal servo motors, continuous rotation servo motors can also be controlled. It utilizes hardware PWM. Therefore, the servo motor can be moved smoothly. Since you are using pigpio, you need to install pigpio and start pigpiod. To start pigpiod, you need to press the sudo pigpiod command or make pigpiod start automatically.

Installation

pip install piServoCtl

Demo

from piservo import Servo
import subprocess
import time

subprocess.call(['sudo', 'pigpiod'])
time.sleep(1)
myservo = Servo(12)

myservo.write(180)
time.sleep(3)
myservo.write(0)
time.sleep(3)
myservo.stop()

Usage

Method

Servo(gpio, min_value=0, max_value=180, min_pulse=0.5, max_pulse=2.4, frequency=50)

gpio: The gpio pin number to which the servo motor is connected.
min_value: Minimum angle of servo motor (speed if it is a rotation servo motor).
max_value: Maximum angle of servo motor (speed if it is a rotation servo motor).
min_pulse: Minimum control pulse width of servo motor (millisecond).
max_pulse: Maximum control pulse width of servo motor (millisecond).
frequency: PWM frequency of the servo motor.

Create an instance.

Servo.write(value)

value: Servo motor drive angle (speed if it is a rotation servo motor).

Drives the servo motor.

Servo.read()

Read the current value of the servo motor.

Servo.start()

Starts control of the servo motor.

Servo.stop()

Stops control of the servo motor.
