Newbie help - photon

[tomski]

Hi there,

I have purchased a Photon board and have used some copied code from the Particle site to try and gain full analogy control of the position of a servo.

I have a device ID and access token and the code is flashed to the chip.

How can I use that code (its currently flashed to the chip in an app called servo)?

Without tinker on the chip any more the mobile phone control app doesn’t work. I know this is probably a really dumb question but I basically have no programming experienced.

My main goal is to have a servo that i can control the position of remotely.
It has a 180 degree range and id like to be able to move it to set positions 0 90 and 180.

Any help/advice/answers would be great.

Have you seen this tutorial I wrote on exactly this topic yet?

Tutorial: Spark Variable and Function on One Web Page

Let’s say you have a Spark core with both a Spark variable and a Spark function. In my case, I have the world’s simplest servo control sketch, using the nice miniature servo in the Spark Maker Kit. Using these parts, we will build a servo that you can control from a web page anywhere and monitor the position of the servo too! Here’s a preview of the finished tutorial: [image] There is a coarse adjust slider, two fine adjust buttons, and the current position of the servo is displayed. That…
