Arduino Uno Programming Question

Hello,

I am using a Arduino Uno board to run a servco motor. I need to control everything with a dial. My question is, what do I need to go to the board to make this all work? Do I need to program the board for all of this to work? I have all the supplies and I know how to wire it up, just need help with the board itself

THanks

A dial is pretty ambiguous... So what kind of dial? Is it a pot? A rotary? A piece of random scrap wood?

And if you know how to wire it up. please share that info with us to verify. Same goes for the code.

How would you design a board so that it would automatically know what you want to do with it?

Attached is the setup I'm trying to create

That picture looks exactly like the one on this page.

Of course you do.

That is exactly what I need to do, so my real question is, how do I program i

Read the tutorial page (on this very site) - it has the entire sketch. Install the Arduino IDE per the instructions here, copy the tutorial code from the tutorial page, paste it into a new IDE window, save it on your computer, then upload it to your connected Arduino board. Wire up the board like in your diagram, and power up the Arduino. Twist the 'dial' and the motor will turn.

That is exactly what I need to do

What is? Can't you see the value of quoting?
