[SOLVED] Use SoftwareSerial data to map a Servo

[JackD12]

Yes.

Get rid of this,

@JackD12

delay(150);
myServo.write(readString);

And put

int potVal = map(command.toInt(), 0, 1023, 0, 180);
myServo.write(potVal);

Inside of the parseCommand function, replacing whatever was inside.

Like this?

if (readString.length() > 0) // If a string has been read...
{
Serial.println("Received: " + readString); // Send the parsed string to Serial for debugging
parseCommand(readString); // Do something with the string...
readString = ""; // Clear the string
int potVal = map(command.toInt(), 0, 1023, 0, 180);
> myServo.write(potVal);
}

I get an error that says 'command' was not declared in this scope

@JackD12

while (!Serial) { ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only

This is also not necessary.

[nrobinson2000]

No, there is a void parseCommand(String command) before setup(). Put it in there, getting rid of the if (command == "foo") stuff.

It works!!!
Thanks so much!!! I never would’ve been able to figure that out!!!

[nrobinson2000]

You’re welcome.
