A library for controlling servo motors using ESP32 LEDC (LED Control) peripheral.
No `esp-idf` and `std` dependencies (pure `esp-hal`).
## Features
- Control servo motors using PWM via LEDC
- Support for custom servo configurations (SG90/SG90S preconfigured)
- Angle calculation and position tracking
- Support for all ESP32 variants (ESP32, ESP32C2, ESP32C3, ESP32C6, ESP32H2, ESP32S2, ESP32S3)
- Optional async support via `embedded-hal-async` (enable `async` feature)
### Chip Features
This library supports all ESP32 variants through optional features. You must enable at least one chip feature:
- `esp32` - Original ESP32
- `esp32c2` - ESP32-C2
- `esp32c3` - ESP32-C3
- `esp32c6` - ESP32-C6
- `esp32h2` - ESP32-H2
- `esp32s2` - ESP32-S2
- `esp32s3` - ESP32-S3
## Usage
Add the library to your `Cargo.toml` with the appropriate chip feature:
```toml
[dependencies]
esp-hal-servo = { version = "0.4", features = ["esp32c3"] }
```
To enable async support, add the `async` feature:
```toml
[dependencies]
esp-hal-servo = { version = "0.4", features = ["esp32c3", "async"] }
embedded-hal-async = "1.0"
```
Note: You'll also need to provide an implementation of `embedded-hal-async::delay::DelayNs` trait.
For example, with Embassy runtime, you can use `embassy-time` (which implements `DelayNs`).
## API Overview
This library provides two approaches for controlling servo motors:
### 1. Direct Angle Control
Simply specify the desired angle and the servo will move to that position:
```rust
// Set servo to a specific angle (e.g., 42 degrees)
servo.set_angle(42.0);
```
### 2. Step-by-Step Control with Direction
Control the servo incrementally by setting direction and making steps:
```rust
// Set direction to clockwise
servo.set_dir(Dir::CW);
// Make a step of 10 duty units
servo.step(10.0)?;
// Or make a step as a percentage of the total range
servo.step_pct(5)?; // 5% of the range
```
Use **direct angle control** when you need to position the servo at a specific angle.
Use **step-by-step control** when you need smooth, incremental movement or continuous rotation.
### 3. Async Control (Optional)
Enable `async` feature for using `AsyncServo` (allows non-blocking servo control).
Delay is automatically calculated based on servo speed and rotation angle.
The `AsyncServo` wrapper accepts any implementation of `embedded-hal-async::delay::DelayNs` trait,
making it compatible with any async runtime (Embassy, RTOS, etc.).
```rust
use esp_hal_servo::{Servo, ServoConfig, async_servo::AsyncServo};
use embedded_hal_async::delay::DelayNs;
// Create servo with speed of 60 degrees per second (typical for SG90)
// Speed is configured in ServoConfig (e.g., ServoConfig::sg90() sets it to 60.0)
// delay must implement DelayNs trait (e.g., embassy-time::Delay)
let servo = Servo::new("servo", config, &mut ledc, &mut timer, channel_num, pin)?;
let mut async_servo = AsyncServo::new(servo, delay);
// Set angle asynchronously (delay is automatically calculated)
async_servo.set_angle(90.0).await;
// Step asynchronously (delay is automatically calculated)
async_servo.set_dir(Dir::CW);
async_servo.step_async(10.0).await?;
```
