need help with code design for motor controller

I just got my arduino and it works very well, but I'm having trouble with the code for the motor controller. :-/

Basically I need some code that takes the stock servo knob code and controls a motor's speed by monitoring the value of a potentiometer. :-?

Thanks in advance,

Have you looked in the Playground and tutorial areas of the Arduino website? There's lots of good stuff there.

Yeah. I've looked all over the playground and google and I haven't been able to find any example code for the motor controller. Except for the one that they gave me, but it is in C++ not hex and I believe that is the main problem. I have a c++ file, a java file, and an o file. I don't know if this helps. :-/

Do you know some code for what I was asking about in the first post? :-?

Thanks, ;D

I just found a link with some code that controls a motor through serial. (hope this works over usb) So I'll see what I can do with that and see if I can turn that into being potentiometer controlled. :-?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. ;D

BTW, I'll be posting pictures and possibly a video when my 'robot' makes its first movements. ;D

Thanks again,
