Servo Rotation

Does anyone have any code they could share that would turn a servo from side to side. I need it to move the servo from position 50 to position 80 and back again not exceeding those positions but I cant seem to figure out the logic to make it happen. Any examples?

New V4 Camera Fuzzy Image Compared To The Old V4 Camera?

I then reversed the wires and backward and forward commands worked correctly, but now...

Difference Between Ez-B And Arduino Video: Biggest Misconceptions

Alright guys, its time to make a video to tell newbies what the difference is between arduino and Ez-b. This can also talk about software. Biggest misconceptions/diffences: (I'll update this list as we go.) 1. Ez-b does not get programmed, everything is done in ARC 2. The ez-b is not a micro controller, it is a robot controller, sort of like a...
