INTRODUCTION
In this lesson, we will learn on how to control a servo using a smartphone. This is a simple project designed specially for a beginner who are interested in get started with Internet of Things (IoT).
HARDWARE PREPARATION
This tutorial use :
You can make the hardware connection based on the diagram and table below.

Wsalam Hamdan, untuk faham, anda perlu buat step by step. Contohnya, fahamkan dahulu bagaimana 360 servo berfungsi, dan cara mengawalnya. Kemudian belajar berkenaan data yang diterima daripada Blynk, dan bagaimana menguruskannya. Barulah anda boleh cuba gabungkan keduanya. Semasa belajar, anda perlu banyak dan berani mencuba. Walaupun ia akan mengambil masa sedikit, tetapi ia berbaloi. Terima kasih.
Assalamualaikum,
saya baru nak belajar tentang arduino, blynk dan nodemcu. banyak tutorial yang saya dah buat, tapi just ikut je semua tu, ada yang faham, ada yang tak faham. contohnya kalau sy nak control 360 servo (modified) gunakan blynk, sama ada:
1) clockwise
2) anti-clockwise
dan dia juga akan off lepas beberapa masa tertentu. kalau awak boleh ajar sy lebih lanjut sy amat berterima kasih. no whatsapp saya 012 9171744.. sy betul2 confius sebab terlalu banyak input yang masuk dalam kepala..
