Expected primary-Expression before 'sonic'

ROTATE(200); // start rotete if (distance < 20){

In order to properly assist you please include the entire results from the compiler and indicate which line the error is occurring on. We cannot help with just a code dump.

[omarnader99]

distance = Servo sonic.read();

[anon52073450]

You have go to post the full compiler results: No where do no mention what processor your are using?

You have some syntax errors in your code:

Servo sonic; creates the object, do not type cast the (int)

Then you have distance = Servo sonic.read();

Do not put the object type of Servo on the same line as the read().

distance = sonic.read();

Here is an example:

Look at the example code for the servo library. You can't make up your own syntax. What you have is all wrong.

You also need to attach the servo.
