Servo sweep tweeks

Hi there,

I am playing around with the Servo sweep codes. How do I code it so that the servo makes a complete stop for #(seconds) before continuing its motion to reach the next position?

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// twelve servo objects can be created on most boards

int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position

void setup() {
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}

void loop() {
for (pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) { // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
// in steps of 1 degree
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(1); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
for (pos = 180; pos >= 0; pos -= 1) { // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
}

thanks,

Tom

delay(1);                      // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position Nope.

Please remember to use code tags when posting code.

If you're happy with using delay (), then use that. Remember, 1000 milliseconds in a second.

pause = 2000; // two seconds delay
void loop() {
  for (pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) { // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
    // in steps of 1 degree
    myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15);                       // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position corrected
  }
   delay(pause);
  for (pos = 180; pos >= 0; pos -= 1) { // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
    myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15);                       // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
  }
  delay(pause)
}

The delay(15) is a bit short for the servo's movement try changing that.

thanks for the tip Grumpy_Mike,

but its shows error message for pause = 2000;

windchase:
but its shows error message for pause = 2000;

Yes it will because you have not declared it. Prefix that with an int
