Don’t use delays, or other blocking code (like for() loops)… especially in the void loop() or even in sub-functions directly called from the void loop().

Look at other timing options with servos…
Her is a couple I have made…
#4 Slow & Variable Servo Sweep Without ‘delay()’ (Yay Timers!)
This is one I dug out of my archive and tweaked a bit to make it variable and stable.
I also have another method of varing a timer, shown in a later post: 20 - Easy Variable Timer
This example will allow you to control the sweep speed of a servo motor… normally they run at one speed, from where they are to where you want them to go. Traditional methods to slow that down is move the servo in incremental steps with a delay between…
#16 - Ultrasonic Distance Sensor with Servo
This little project used the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor… but instead of boring old distance numbers, it will also position a servo within a range of selected distances.
This sketch demonstrates a timer that can be enabled and disabled, so as not to be running something like the Ultrasonic sensor if other critical timing functions need to run.
And also demonstrates enabling and disabling the servo, so that there is no jitter or fluttering when it is n…
