I tried to change it a little bit so that every time i move the gimbal towards same direction the servo goes +10 each time, but it only goes +10 once and doesnt respond thereafter...what can i change?

//posServo1 = 0;
servoMotor1.write(posServo1);
}
//If the channel value is bigger than the highest value of the range do following
else if(channel2>1550){
for(int i = 0; posServo1 < 10; posServo1 ++){
servoMotor1.write(posServo1);
i = posServo1;
delay(1);
}
}
delay(100); //Time for Monitoring values
}
Thank it works, i also tried it on AC servo PUL and DIR and it works, but i cannot make it go faster it rotates very slowly, what can i do?

i tried to add channel3, when the left (other) gimbal is above 1550 it increases variable speed and vice versa, but i didnt get it right, what do you think?

only using one motor, i fixed it stepPulse..... channel2 is the one that moves the motor which works great. channel3 changes variable speed, this part isnt working.
