Connor Guzikowski - AM - Open Lab - 2 Hours

Today I spent my open lab time working with servo motors and figuring out how to control them. I played around with them a little bit before, but today I started connecting my servos to a servo controller. I will soon be able to connect more motors up to the controller and control multiple at a time. I need to figure out how this controller works in more depth though. Some of the pins I am not too sure of what they do but I am getting the hang of it I think. I also wrote some code that whenever I push a button, a servo is rotated 180 degrees, and then is rotated back.
Another part of the robot club project I am working on requires a 3D printed hand, which I was able to find a model of: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:596966
I need some at least 5 flex sensors for my project also. They are these ones: https://www.amazon.com/Adafruit-Short-Flex-Sensor-ADA1070/dp/B00SK8PZVS
