Introduction

Give CodeBug moving arms and legs using servos – small electric motors.

Jumper cables come in three main types as shown below. This activity assumes your servos have female sockets to connect to, and therefore we will use male to male jumper cables (but you can use male to female cables if your servo has male pins).

A servo is a precise motor that can rotate a certain number of degrees (usually 180°). Servos are great for making robot arms, cranes or even robots.
