Controlling a Servo Motor

lilyhack · February 2015

Has anyone tried to control a servo motor with Metaware? I need to rotate the motor based on a timer. Unlike Arduino, Metaware doesn't have a PWM pin. Wondering if anyone tried it and how?

MetaWear has PWM on the haptic driver pin.

What pin # is that?

Please let me know how to use it.

You use the two pins about GPIO pin 0 and 1. You can check out the hardware spec sheet (https://mbientlab.com/docs/MetaWearPPSv0.7.pdf), section 8: Typical Application Circuit

Just make sure you have a proper power source for the motor.
