Communication Protocol

The VTS 08A Servo Motor uses a standard PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal to control its rotation angle. The servo motor expects a PWM signal with a frequency of 50Hz and a duty cycle ranging from 5% to 10% to control its rotation.

Example Code

The following examples demonstrate how to use the VTS 08A Servo Motor in various contexts:

### Example 1: Arduino Control

In this example, we will use an Arduino Uno board to control the VTS 08A Servo Motor.

```cpp
#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control the servo motor

void setup() {
  myservo.attach(9);  // attach the servo motor to digital pin 9
}

void loop() {
  for (int pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) {
    myservo.write(pos);  // write the rotation angle to the servo motor
    delay(30);  // wait 30ms for the servo to reach its position
  }
  for (int pos = 180; pos >= 0; pos -= 1) {
    myservo.write(pos);  // write the rotation angle to the servo motor
    delay(30);  // wait 30ms for the servo to reach its position
  }
}
```

In this example, we use the Arduino Servo library to control the VTS 08A Servo Motor. We attach the servo motor to digital pin 9 and use the `write()` method to set the rotation angle.

### Example 2: Raspberry Pi Control (Python)

In this example, we will use a Raspberry Pi to control the VTS 08A Servo Motor using Python.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)  # set GPIO mode to BCM
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT)  # set GPIO 18 as an output

p = GPIO.PWM(18, 50)  # create a PWM object with a frequency of 50Hz
p.start(0)  # start the PWM signal with a duty cycle of 0%

while True:
    for dc in range(5, 11, 1):  # iterate through duty cycles from 5% to 10%
        p.ChangeDutyCycle(dc)  # change the duty cycle of the PWM signal
        time.sleep(1)  # wait 1 second for the servo to reach its position
    for dc in range(10, 4, -1):  # iterate through duty cycles from 10% to 5%
        p.ChangeDutyCycle(dc)  # change the duty cycle of the PWM signal
        time.sleep(1)  # wait 1 second for the servo to reach its position
```

In this example, we use the RPi.GPIO library to control the VTS 08A Servo Motor. We set up GPIO 18 as an output and create a PWM object with a frequency of 50Hz. We then iterate through duty cycles from 5% to 10% and back to 5% to control the rotation angle of the servo motor.
