I don’t understand the question. Every skill control has a board index option, including every servo setting in the auto position.

In the Auto Position control, how do I distinguish between a vertical servo D0 and and a continuous servo D0? - I am using both on my robot

on the same connection (connect )

Here is a pic of the arms, notice it has 2 parts

You don't - a horizontal servo is a horizontal servo skill. It is just a skill for controlling a servo. It has nothing to do with any other control that controls servos. Read this document: https://synthiam.com/Docs/ARC-Overview/Servo-Controls

Any servo connected to D0 is a servo on D0. The Auto Position has it's own servo control. The horizontal servo skill has it's own servo control. The camera has it's own servo control. Every skill is not dependent on any other skill.

You can delete the horizontal and vertical skills and the Auto Position will still work.

What do you mean it has two parts? You can only connect 1 (one) servo to a port. D0 is a port. You connect a servo to a port, which is D0. You select that port and control the servo.

In the Auto Position config, you can see a number before the port. That number is the board index. In this example, take a look at the number 0 and number 1 before the D0. Meaning, board index 0 and board index 1.

To select the port and board index, select the servo port button and edit the config. This is the same for ALL robot skills that use servos across ARC entirely. It's documented in the link I pasted above about how servo controls work.

I am trying to explain my problem:

I use a continuous servo D0 because it has a "stop" function so the arm doesn't keep moving

The vertical servo D0 does not have a "stop" function, it just has a slider (probably wrong term)

I need both to control movement

I hope I am explaining myself clearly

I still do not fully understand. What I believe to understand, any servo connected to D0 is the same servo. Please follow the manuals, which explain in greater depth what I'm repeating

I understand your pictures and the manual

Now what do you do when you have "two" D1s and D2s?
