I am trying to get at least one serveo to be controllable from the web. There is alot of internet talk, but very few code examples pertaining to this subject. The few examples I have seen are for the old IDE. I can control a switch and show analog values from the web using the standard Ethernet.h library, but not control analog from the web. Once I get something working, I am going to make a really nice tutorial for those who need help like me. This is the first and most important step of my project.
//zoomkat 4-1-12
//simple button GET for servo and pin 5
//for use with IDE 1.0
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the \ slash to escape the " in the html, or use ' instead of "
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84 when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 102 }; // ip in lan
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(84); //server port
String readString;
//////////////////////
void setup(){
pinMode(5, OUTPUT); //pin selected to control
//start Ethernet
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, gateway, subnet);
server.begin();
myservo.write(90); //set initial servo position if desired
myservo.attach(7); //the pin for the servo control
//enable serial data print
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("server servo/pin 5 test 1.0"); // so I can keep track of what is loaded
}
void loop(){
// Create a client connection
EthernetClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
//read char by char HTTP request
if (readString.length() < 100) {
//store characters to string
readString += c;
//Serial.print(c);
}
//if HTTP request has ended

Thanks. I have seen this one, its just a digital switch with some standard servo.h commands added in. There are no statements in there to handle analog over web.

Servos are not controlled by analog data. They are controlled by specifying, to the Servo library, either an angle value, that the write() method maps to a microsecond value, or a microsecond value, using the writeMicroseconds() method.
Why do you think that you need to send some kind of analog data to the Arduino?

You are correct, most of the hobby servos take a pwm input. I guess I have always thought of them conceptually as analog, but I have down a basic pwm with a 555. Thank you for correcting my mistake, although it doesn't really help the thread.
