please help
i want code for 4 servo motors controlled by arduino uno
Hi noga,
Go check the links that BillHo included. The Arduino site has a lot of examples to use.
Have you programmed the Arduino before? If not, go look at the tutorials on the site for additional information. Good stuff!

thanks alot for your help
i will see this links .
but i have another request ,i try to make robot arm to feed armless people but i cannot determine the angles in which the servo motors move to achieve certain motion .
could you tell me method to determine the angles of the motors ?

Multiservo test code.
//zoomkat 11-22-12 simple delimited ',' string parse
//from serial port input (via serial monitor)
//and print result out serial port
//multi servos added
String readString;
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservoa, myservob, myservoc, myservod; // create servo object to control a servo
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
//myservoa.writeMicroseconds(1500); //set initial servo position if desired
myservoa.attach(6); //the pin for the servoa control
myservob.attach(7); //the pin for the servob control
myservoc.attach(8); //the pin for the servoc control
myservod.attach(9); //the pin for the servod control
Serial.println("multi-servo-delimit-test-dual-input-11-22-12"); // so I can keep track of what is loaded
}
void loop() {
//expect single strings like 700a, or 1500c, or 2000d,
//or like 30c, or 90a, or 180d,
//or combined like 30c,180b,70a,120d,
if (Serial.available()) {
char c = Serial.read(); //gets one byte from serial buffer
if (c == ',') {
if (readString.length() >1) {
Serial.println(readString); //prints string to serial port out
int n = readString.toInt(); //convert readString into a number
// auto select appropriate value, copied from someone elses code.
if(n >= 500)
{
Serial.print("writing Microseconds: ");
Serial.println(n);
if(readString.indexOf('a') >0) myservoa.writeMicroseconds(n);

Serial.print("writing Angle: ");
Serial.println(n);

if(readString.indexOf('b') >0) myservob.write(n);
if(readString.indexOf('c') >0) myservoc.write(n);
if(readString.indexOf('d') >0) myservod.write(n);
}
readString=""; //clears variable for new input
}
}
else {
readString += c; //makes the string readString
}
}
}
It depends on the servos. What kinds do you have? You should also be able to find that information on their spec sheets. Most ranges are 0-180 degrees (or a little less, like 10-170 degrees). The positions are set by sending them short pulses that correspond to desired angles.
