Well, after some electronics-downtime, due to work and such. And some time to read up on some more coding I conjured up a new piece of code to see i...

@frogandtoad Thanks for the link, However, in my current stage of knowlegde I'm not sure if that is the kind of tweaking-depth I should dive i...

@bushgeek Thanks for the suggestions! Before making this actual robot arm, I made a test setup with just two servos on a breadboard (I sti...
