Continuous servo and standard micro servo together in 1 sketch

Projects Programming

Greetings! Pardon me if this question has been answered before. I did not read anything resembling my question.
I'm trying to sketch a 360 servo for camera slider and have copied code that works with my setup and have tweaked the numbers to fit my purpose. I'm also trying to work a standard servo to click my remote intervalometer, mechanically, using a horn arm, for fear of frying my camera if i click it automatically using arduino uno. When I get more experienced I'll let the arduino do all the work. Maybe you could steer me in the right direction.
I have the 2 sketches working perfectly by themselves but when I write them together in one sketch, i get errors. I may have syntax issues.
Here's what I have.

For 360 continuous servo:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo Ron1; // create servo object to control a servo
// twelve servo objects can be created on most boards

int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position

void setup()
{
Ron1.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}

void loop()
{
for(pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
{ // in steps of 1 degree
Ron1.write(91.5); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(1); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
for(pos = 180; pos>=0; pos-=1) // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
{
Ron1.write(87); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(65.9); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}

And for standard micro servo:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo Ron2; // create servo object to control a servo
// twelve servo objects can be created on most boards

int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position

void setup()
{
Ron2.attach(10); // attaches the servo on pin 10 to the servo object
}

void loop()
{
for(pos = 180; pos <= 0; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 25 degrees
{ // in steps of 1 degree
Ron2.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(10); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
for(pos = 50; pos>=0; pos-=1) // goes from 20 degrees to 0 degrees
{
Ron2.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(300); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
}

Thank you to anyone who could help.

Sincerely,
RonSA

Please post the code you are having trouble with in code tags. Also the full text of all errors.

for(pos = 180; pos <= 0; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 25 degrees
  {                                  // in steps of 1 degree

If the comment doesn't describe the code, it's pointless having it.

   delay(65.9);

That's an expensive way of writing 65.

Servo.write() takes int data type so float there is a waste, too.

Ron1.write(91.5);

You cannot control the position of a continuous rotation servo - only its speed and direction. Hence there is no point having a FOR loop. Just leave it to work for whatever time is needed to move the distance you want.

If you post your code using the code button </>

so it looks like this

I will be able to select it and copy it to my text editor and give you more advice.

for(pos = 180; pos <= 0; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 25 degrees

Oh dear. The value of pos (declared as an int) is going to start at 180 and be incremented by 1 until its value is zero. How many steps will that be ?

Sorry for the newbie mistakes. Here's the codes where they're supposed to be placed as attachment that I'm trying to tie-in together in one arduino uno sketch.
And this is the error message:

Try to combine your two sketches. Show your attempt and if it doesn't work we can fix it.

Psst, reply #7 - the one with two "setup"s and two "loop"s

Maybe try this - not verified, not tested

#include <Servo.h> 
 
Servo contRot; 
int contRotSpeed = 90;    // variable to store the servo speed/direction - begin with it stopped
const byte contRotPin = 9;

Servo regServo;  
int regServoPos = 0;    // variable to store the servo position 
const byte regServoPin = 8;
 
void setup() 
{ 
  contRot.attach(contRotPin);
  regServo.attach(regServoPin);
} 
 
void loop() 
{ 
      // first move the continuous rotation servo
   contRot.write(92);             
   delay(1000);                      
    
   contRot.write(87);              
   delay(1000);                       

      // then move the regular servo
  for(regServoPos = 180; regServoPos <= 0; regServoPos += 1)
  {                                
    regServo.write(regServoPos);             
    delay(50);                       
  } 
  for(regServoPos = 50; regServoPos >=0; regServoPos -=1)     
  {                                
    regServo.write(regServoPos);              
    delay(300);                       
  }  

}
