virtualwire.h and servo.h with mega

Projects Programming

Pretty new to the arduino and read about the issue with both servo.h and virtualwire.h using timer1 on an Uno, so I bought a mega2560 with the assumption that it uses timer5 for servo's. When I go to compile I am getting the same error I did with my Uno. That both are trying to access the same timer. Is there something I need to do for it to recognize that it is a mega2560 other than changing the board in the Tools menu.
Just trying to get 2 continuous rotation servo's to move after being sent some commands using rf modules. Tested both servos and rf modules separately and they work fine.

Thanks

I have same problem on Uno and i solve it with using SotwareServo.h or ServoTimer2.h But you must add #include <Arduino.h> in .cpp file in libraries.

The problem is both libraries have interrupt handlers for timer1, even though
the Servo library doesn't use timer1 until the 13th call to attach()...

You could create a modified Servo library that didn't use timer1 for the Mega, since
you have the code...

I seem to have the same problem , my sketch uses Virtual wire and Servo.h but i can not get it to compile on my mega, where and what must i change?
