I'm going to write a review here on element14 today.

It's going to include a test bed where you can enter the speed in the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE, between 0 (fast counter clock) and 180 (fast clowkwise). It will run at that speed for 5 seconds then stop.

I've been digging a bit further in the howabouts of this type of servo,

and my code above is more complex than it should be.

There's no need to keep telling it the speed in the loop.

The servo has got a bit of power to it, in my test yesterday it seemed to rotate about 380° when I ran the 0 to 180° sweep code into it.
