Arduino Instructions

• Connect a wire from the 5V to the power rail and another from GND to the ground.

Let’s first connect the joystick. Take three female-to-male wires:

1. Connect the female (the open one) to the GND of the joystick and the male (with the metal pin sticking out) to ground rail on the breadboard.
2. Connect the female (the open one) to the +5V of the joystick and the male (with the metal pin sticking out) to the power rail on the breadboard.
3. Connect the female (the open one) to the of the joystick and the male (with the metal pin sticking out) to AO on the Arduino.

Let’s connect the Micro Servo.

1. Place it flat on the floor. Flatten the wire and unwind the twists. The orange wire is input. The middle is power. The brown wire is ground.
2. Connect a wire from the input to pin 8.
3. Connect a wire from the power wire to the power rail on the breadboard.
4. Connect a wire from the ground wire to the ground rail on the breadboard.

Now upload your code and move the joystick to turn the Micro Servo.
