CODE | Servo Control - Arduino Project 025
You will need to obtain a standard RC servo; any of the small or mid-sized servos will do. Larger servos are not recommended because they require their own power supply as they consume a lot of current. Also, you’ll need a potentiometer; pretty much any value rotary potentiometer will do. I used a 4.7K ohm one for testing. Note that you may also wish to connect your Arduino to an external DC power supply.

#include <Servo.h>
Servo servo1; // Create a servo object
void setup()
{
servo1.attach(5); // Attaches the servo on Pin 5 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
int angle = analogRead(0); // Read the pot value
angle=map(angle, 0, 1023, 0, 180); // Map the values from 0 to 180 degrees
servo1.write(angle); // Write the angle to the servo
delay(15); // Delay of 15ms to allow servo to reach position
}
