Servo Manual Control Without Arduino Servo Library on Raspberry Pi and Gertboard

Arduino Servo library Servo.h despite its simplicity often creates timer conflicts with other PWM pins. In our lab experiment, we found that when we attach servo on Pin 11, PWM capability on at least one of the other pins gets disabled, e.g. the right wheel of the rover attached to Pin 3…

“Hello World” Running Arduino IDE Serial Monitor on Gertboard

 So you have tried the following code and include Serial.println(“Hello World!”); in your sketch yet nothing happens? To see printed messages on the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor,  you need to link up the broken-out Raspberry pins as follows:  Raspberry Mini UART TXD (GPIO pin 14) -> Gertboard MCRX (1 jumper) Raspberry Mini UART RXD (GPIO pin 15) ->…
