Adamkdrums:
but coding ,, ? how would you adapt this given example to an extra input and output, say , pwm10(servo)
analog 1 (pot)
Have you tried dupilcating the code in loop() but using the appropriate pin numbers for the new components. And you don't need to duplicate the delay(15) - just keep that as the last thing in loop().
The Arduino is a great system for learning-by-doing.
erm, kida, wouldnt you need to specify befor setup, and in setup that another servo exists, like you have my servo, or myservo 2, so you can refer to it in loop , though ive no idea how this would be configured in what order it written in, thats what i find misleading in the tutorial,

Yes.
The best way for you to learn and for us to help is if you have a go at writing the code. Then if it does not work, post your latest version and we may be able to offer suggestions.
this is how i think to do this atm, but obviously its not right, ?

this works, if you wanted to do pan and tilt with a camera say,,
void setup()
{
myservo0.attach(9);
myservo1.attach(10); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
val = analogRead(potpin0); // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)
val = map(val, 0, 1023, 0, 180); // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)
myservo0.write(val); // sets the servo position according to the scaled value
delay(15); // waits for the servo to get there
val = analogRead(potpin1);
val = map(val,0,1023, 0,180);
myservo1.write(val);
