ESP32 - Button - Servo Motor
This tutorial instructs you how to use ESP32 with button and servo motor. In detail, we will learn how to do:
- ESP32 automatically rotates servo motor to 90° if the button is pressed.
- ESP32 automatically rotates servo motor to 0° if the button is pressed again
That process is repeated.

// change angle of servo motor
if (angle == 0)

else if (angle == 90)

// control servo motor arccoding to the angle

Quick Instructions
- If this is the first time you use ESP32, see how to setup environment for ESP32 on Arduino IDE.
- Install ezButton library. See How To
- Click to the Libraries icon on the left bar of the Arduino IDE.
- Type ServoESP32 on the search box, then look for the servo library by Jaroslav Paral. Please be aware that both version 1.1.1 and 1.1.0 are affected by bugs. Kindly choose a different version.
- Click Install button to install servo motor library for ESP32.
- Copy the above code and paste it to Arduino IDE.
- Compile and upload code to ESP32 board by clicking Upload button on Arduino IDE
- Press the button several times
- See the servo motor's rotation
