error: 'Serial' does not name a type
this is my code for servo motor control. and i can not use the monitor to check the angle of the motor.
what is wrong ? how can i fix it ?

#include <Servo.h>
int p;
Servo s1;
Servo s2;
Serial.bigin(9600);
void setup()
{
s1.attach(1);
s2.attach(2);

}

void loop()
{
int p;
for(p=0;p<=180;p=p+1)
{
s1.write(p);
delay(25);
}
for(p=180;p>=0;p=p-1)
{
s1.write(p);
delay(25);
}
Serial.println(p);
}

for a start don't hijack someone else's thread
then you have a wrong formatting of your code
--> read forum rules and messages at the top of the forum. that will get you started.

PS:
Serial.begin() needs to be in the setup() and bigin() does not exist...

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Please read the post at the start of any forum , entitled "How to use this Forum".
OR
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,148850.0.html.
Then look down to item #7 about how to post your code.
It will be formatted in a scrolling window that makes it easier to read.

Serial.bigin(9600);

Spelling error and in the wrong part of your code.

Tom... :slight_smile:

Also, don't use pin 1.
Serial had dibs on it

The Serial.println(p); line is always going to print the same value. It really won't help with debugging.

void loop()
{
  int p;
  for (p = 0; p <= 180; p = p + 1)
  {
    s1.write(p);
    delay(25);
  }
  for (p = 180; p >= 0; p = p - 1)
  {
    s1.write(p);
    delay(25);
  }
  Serial.println(p);
}
