How to control servo from what's in the serial monitor?

Projects General Guidance
1

I am using the serial monitor to give me data from sensors. I want my servo motor to move based on those numbers. What code should I use?

2

Code based on the examples in the IDE?

You're posting code with colour tags.
Don't do that - just paste your code inside code tags.

This is what I have so far. I keep getting error messages. What am I doing wrong?

#include <Servo.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  
  myservo.attach(9);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
  Serial.begin(9600);
}


void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

  if (Serial.read(> 150) {
  myservo.write(68);
  }

  if (Serial.read(> 135 gap && gap < 150) {
    myservo.write(136);
  }

  if (Serial.read(> 120 gap && gap < 135) {
    myservo.write(204);
  }

  if (Serial.read(< 120); {
  myservo.write(270);
  }a
}

if (Serial.read(> 150) {What's that?
(The compiler already asked you that, just in a different way)

I suggest you junk all that code, and have a look at Robin2's serial handling basics tutorial.

I'm expecting the serial monitor to print numbers greater than 150 from sensors. When those numbers appear, I want the servo to move to the specified position.

That's a useful working specification, but I suggest you read and act on what I wrote in reply #4.
