Adc Value To Servo Movement

If 0v it will move to 1 if 5v it will move to 50 and so on. Please bare in mind I do hard ware, coding even in this simple way is tough for me. Thanks all. Matt

If I delete the relative servos and control them individually...

Is/Are There Compatible Cameras For The Iotiny

Is the IoTiny compatible with any other camera device on the market? I own two EZ Robot cameras and need to order a third, but the places the online stores where I generally buy my gear are out of stock. I'd like to get started rather than wait for however long it may take for EZ cameras to be back in stock?  Any suggestions? Thanks. Scott
