Once again hello . I am stuck once more and i need help.
Here is the code. Second line of the code is the problem.
#include <Servo.h>
//Setup the variables for the HC-SR04
// initializer supposed to be before
const int trigPin = 6;
// thats the problem
const int echoPin = 7;
// create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created
Servo myservo;
// variable to store the servo position
int pos = 0;
{
// initialize serial communication:
Serial.begin(9600);
// attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
myservo.attach(9);
}
void loop()
{
// establish variables for duration of the ping,
// and the distance result in inches and centimeters:
long duration, inches, cm;
// The sensor is triggered by a HIGH pulse of 10 or
// more microseconds.

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
// Read the signal from the sensor: a HIGH pulse whose
// duration is the time (in microseconds) from the sending

duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
// convert the time into a distance
inches = microsecondsToInches(duration);
cm = microsecondsToCentimeters(duration);
//Tell the Arduino to print the measurement in the serial console
Serial.print(inches);
Serial.print("in, ");
Serial.print(cm);
Serial.print("cm");
Serial.println();
// This if-else statement tells the Arduino at what distance
// it should trigger the servo, what the servo should do,

if (inches <= 24) {
sweep(3);
}
else if (inches >= 24) {
myservo.write(pos);
}
// Tell the Arduino to wait 0.10 seconds before pinging the
// Ultrasonic Sensor again.
delay(100);
}
// Converts the microseconds reading to Inches
long microsecondsToInches(long microseconds)

// 73.746 microseconds per inch (i.e. sound travels at 1130 feet per

return microseconds / 74 / 2;
}
//Converts the Microseconds Reading to Centimeters
long microsecondsToCentimeters(long microseconds)
{
// The speed of sound is 340 m/s or 29 microseconds per centimeter.
// The ping travels out and back, so to find the distance of the
// object we take half of the distance travelled.
return microseconds / 29 / 2;
}
//This sub-routein is what dictates the movement of the servo
void sweep(int NUM_OF_CYCLES)
{
// Tells the Arduino to start this loop at 0 and incriment it by 1
// each time the loop completes. This is how the Arduino knows to
// stop the loop when a specific number of the
// Sweep routein has been ran.
for (int j = 0; j < NUM_OF_CYCLES; j++)
// goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
for (pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 1)
{ // in steps of 1 degree
// tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
myservo.write(pos);
// waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position delay(10); }
// goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees

// tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
myservo.write(pos);
// waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
delay(10);
}
}
And now here is the error message

evanmars:
Might need a void setup() somewhere in there.
I even tried that, it still says you need an initializer before it.
Please anybody who understands how to fix this, please tell me quick as this is a project i have to finish in less than a week.
Thank you for your help
This is the code that i changed when you guys told me to.

Here is the error message after i put the void setup and the ; after the #include command that you guys told me to put.

And also GrooveFlotilla have you seen the initial comment i put? There you can see the code i started with and the error message i got before i came to you guys.
Thank you for your time.
So here is the error message without the ‘;’ at the end of #include <Servo.h>

There's a closing curly bracket missing at the end of your code. Adding that, I get this if I try to compile it:
Applications/Arduino-3.app/Contents/Java/libraries/Servo/src/avr/Servo.cpp:184:39: warning: unused parameter 'timer' [-Wunused-parameter]

Sketch uses 3,886 bytes (12%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.

Arduino\SmartBin_CodeV2\ServoV1.ino
and
Arduino\SmartBin_CodeV2\ServoV2.ino
ServoV1 contains this error:
#include <Servo.h>;
That’s what is causing many of the other error messages including why it is complaining about you having two setup functions because it is trying to compile what should be two separate sketches as if they were one.
. I am stuck once more and i need help.
