Code
In this project, we make the servo rotate from 0 degrees to 180 degrees, and then from 180 degrees to 0
degrees.
C Code 15.1.1 Sweep
First observe the project result, and then analyze the code.
1. Use cd command to enter 15.1.1_Sweep directory of C code.
cd ~/Freenove_Ultimate_Starter_Kit_for_Raspberry_Pi/Code/C_Code/15.1.1_Sweep
2. Use following command to compile "Sweep.c" and generate executable file "Sweep".
gcc Sweep.c -o Sweep -lwiringPi
3. Run the generated file "Sweep".
sudo ./Sweep
After the program is executed, the servo will rotate from 0 degrees to 180 degrees, and then from 180 degrees
to 0 degrees, circularly.
