Thanks it finally worked out in varying the speed of the servo.
This was the final code and it was a brilliant idea to map the position of the pot to the delay variable.
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
int potpin = A0; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer
int val; // variable to read the value from the analog pin
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
Serial.begin (9600);
}
void loop()
{
for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
{ // in steps of 1 degree
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
val = map(analogRead(potpin), 0, 1023, 0, 50);
Serial.println(val);
delay(val); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
for(pos = 180; pos>=1; pos-=1) // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
{
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
val = map(analogRead(potpin), 0, 1023, 0, 50);
Serial.println(val);
delay(val); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
