Final answer:
To move a servo axis a certain distance, you use commands like Servo.write() or Servo.writeMicroseconds() in Arduino, which control the servo's position with a PWM signal.
Step-by-step explanation:
To move a servo axis a specific distance as specified in a command, typically a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal is used to control the position. The command will depend on the programming environment and the hardware you are using. For example, in Arduino, you might use the Servo.write() or Servo.writeMicroseconds() functions if you're programming in the Arduino IDE.
A common command structure might look like this:
- Servo.write(angle): Moves the servo to the position based on the angle specified.
- Servo.writeMicroseconds(us): Moves the servo to a position based on the timing of the pulse in microseconds, which can control the distance more precisely.
Remember that the actual movement distance will depend on the physical characteristics of the servo motor and the mechanics it is connected to.
