Your goal is to create a circuit that combines a servo and and two LEDs. Imagine that you are building and automatic door. The green light means that it is safe – the blinking read light means that the motor (servo) is opening the door.

The outline for the code is below.
You have already made blinking LEDs programs and a servo program. Remember that when you are combining two programs YOU ONLY NEED ONE void setup() and one void (loop) function.

How to duplicate a tinkercad circuit to reuse it for another project
How to wire and program a standard servo (don’t use the continuous servo – Tinkercad doesn’t offer those)
Here’s a full copy of the code and the circuit.
- start with a delay of 2000 -this gives the servo time to wake up (initialize).
- green light on.
- wait two seconds.
- green light off.
- wait half a second.
- red light on.
- wait half a second.
- red light off.
- wait half a second.
- move servo to zero degrees.
- wait half a second.
- red light on.
- wait half a second.
- red light off.
- wait half a second.
- move servo to to 180 degrees.
- wait on second.
