text: Hi Guys
  So first off: This code you see is a merge of the original Arduino Example Codes in Arduino IDE Called
  - Servo → Sweep.ino
  - Sensors → Ping.ino
  So it’s very unlikely there’s something wrong with the code.
  The Code itself does work seperately. Meaning:
  If i just call the Ping() function, it works as it should (Ping and print values)
  The Servo function without the Ping does work as well, and swipes 180° and back clean.
  The problem comes when i mix them both together. The servo jumps a moves a few degrees, pings every time it moves, but then suddenly stops and does nothing for a few seconds.
  It’s like the for-loop “freezes” for 2-3 seconds before it’s 180 degrees. Then it continues at the same point it stopped (so it does not reset to zero) and goes on a few intervals, until it freezes again.
  Eventually it gets to 180 degrees and starts turning back, but wiht random freezes all the time.
  The Servo, as well as The Ping-Sensor are connected to the 5v Output of the Arduino. Is that a problem?
  If yes, how does a Parallax Boebot work with 3 Servos and a Ping Sensor directly connected to Arduino 5V output?
  #include <Servo.h> Servo sweep; int pos = 0; int increment = 1; const int pingPin = 7; long duration, cm; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); sweep.attach(6); } void loop(){ for(pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 10) { ping(); sweep.write(pos); delay(55); } for(pos = 180; pos>=0; pos-=10) { ping(); sweep.write(pos); delay(55); } } void ping(){ // (20); } long microsecondsToCentimeters(long microseconds) { return microseconds / 29 / 2; }
  I commented both For-Loops and and just wrote ping(); in the main loop - ping works Ok.
  Then i did the opposite: Commented both Ping() in the For-Loops and it swiped OK.
  It is the interaction of both functions that causes the problem.
  Any ideas anyone?
