Arduino Servo Control for Beginners
I managed to get my servo working with Arduino today using this tutorial. Nothing to special. The first time I tried nothing happened because I had the min/max pulse time setup wrong for the hitec servo. With the hitec servos the min pulse is 900µsec and the max is 2100µsec. Once I changed that it worked and should work for all hitec servos. I have looked at the Arduino servo libraries and they all seem unfinished or limited in one way or another. I am currently working on a sketch that will allow the control of up to 11 servos with analog inputs or serial commands. Also in the works is an Aduino servo shield.

Hi I have a question. I am trying to get the arduino servo control to work but im still having issues. Is there anything else that needs to be added at the end of the script. ? if not what kind of results are expected, so far i have no results in my hitec servo. Im assuming im supposed to modify the script somehow.
any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Well there are a couple of things i need to know first. Do you have a potentiometer hooked up to your arduino? What pins do you have it connected to and what pins do you have connected to your servo?

Hi. I am new, on the arduino.cc website there is different code to make my servo works. but now I would like to use a sound sensor as a switch for the servo. I am having a lot of difficulties to write a code. does someone has ideas?

Well depends on what you mean by a sound sensor? I need more info before I could comment.

i will like to build a small robot…
i would like to have 2 wheels…
surely i need one servo by wheel?
somebody can explain me how to connect 2 servo on the arduino?

it would be better with other languages support, but thanks..
