Hi guys,
I need a servo to be in the "0" position, and then after about 6 hours sweep from 0 to 180 4 times and stop at 0, and then do it all over again.
Is this possible with Arduino?
Could the "sweep" function be modified with maybe a timer of some sort?
David.

Sure. Although the "after about 6 hours" adds some complexity. "after 6 hours" would be much easier.

The sweep function? If you meant the "sweep" sketch, then yes. There is a function called millis() that returns the time since last reset. You can store the last time the servo waved about wildly, then check whether the current value returned by millis() minus the last servo move time is greater than 6 hours. If not, do nothing. If so, wave like mad and reset the time.
Sorry, I've got to ask.
What is the application?
