Source code formating test

#include Servo base, left, right, claw ; // creates 4 "servo objects" String str_Claw_Angle = ""; int int_Claw_Angle = 0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); base.attach(11); // attaches the servo on pin 11 to the base object left.attach(10); // attaches the servo on pin 10 to the left object right.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the right object claw.attach(5); // attaches the servo on pin 6 to the claw object base.write(90); // sets the servo position according to the value(degrees) left.write(90); // does the same right.write(90); // and again claw.write(25); // yes you've guessed it } void loop() { //Serial.println("Enter angle for claw:"); Serial.println("Enter Claw Angle:"); while (Serial.available() == 0) {} // wait for input str_Claw_Angle = Serial.readString(); int_Claw_Angle = str_Claw_Angle.toInt(); // say what you got: Serial.print("I received: "); Serial.println(int_Claw_Angle, DEC); if (int_Claw_Angle < 0 || int_Claw_Angle > 180) { Serial.println("Error in angle ,..

Hmm?  That didn't work either.   I wonder what I'm doing wrong?

#include Servo base, left, right, claw ; // creates 4 "servo objects" String str_Claw_Angle = ""; int int_Claw_Angle = 0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); base.attach(11); // attaches the servo on pin 11 to the base object left.attach(10); // attaches the servo on pin 10 to the left object right.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the right object claw.attach(5); // attaches the servo on pin 6 to the claw object base.write(90); // sets the servo position according to the value(degrees) left.write(90); // does the same right.write(90); // and again claw.write(25); // yes you've guessed it } void loop() { //Serial.println("Enter angle for claw:"); Serial.println("Enter Claw Angle:"); while (Serial.available() == 0) {} // wait for input str_Claw_Angle = Serial.readString(); int_Claw_Angle = str_Claw_Angle.toInt(); // say what you got: Serial.print("I received: "); Serial.println(int_Claw_Angle, DEC); if (int_Claw_Angle < 0 || int_Claw_Angle > 180) { Serial.println("Error in angle ,.. Try again."); } else { Serial.println("Setting Claw to angle"); claw.write(int_Claw_Angle); } }

Still no workie pooh.

#include <Servo.h>

Servo base, left, right, claw ; // creates 4 "servo objects"
String str_Claw_Angle = "";
int int_Claw_Angle = 0;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
base.attach(11); // attaches the servo on pin 11 to the base object
left.attach(10); // attaches the servo on pin 10 to the left object
right.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the right object
claw.attach(5); // attaches the servo on pin 6 to the claw object

base.write(90); // sets the servo position according to the value(degrees)
left.write(90); // does the same
right.write(90); // and again
claw.write(25); // yes you've guessed it
}

void loop()
{

//Serial.println("Enter angle for claw:");

Serial.println("Enter Claw Angle:");
while (Serial.available() == 0)
{} // wait for input
str_Claw_Angle = Serial.readString();
int_Claw_Angle = str_Claw_Angle.toInt();
// say what you got:
Serial.print("I received: ");
Serial.println(int_Claw_Angle, DEC);
if (int_Claw_Angle < 0 || int_Claw_Angle > 180)
{
Serial.println("Error in angle ,.. Try again.");
}
else
{
Serial.println("Setting Claw to angle");
claw.write(int_Claw_Angle);
}
}

~~~~~~~~~  If I paste the code in as just plain text it looks like above.  But no indentations are preserved.

If you want to show code it is useful to use 'code' editing mode by clicking on the <> icon in the editor bar. The normal editor mode tries to do a bunch of editing behind the scene to make normal text look good such as striping leading tabs. Code mode allow you to cut and paste the raw code without additional editing. 

I tried the Code icon, its a bit confusing. But here is one way to add code:

1 - Write your whole message out first, without the code. Then go to the part of your post that you want code inserted.

2 - Click the "Code" icon, which is the <> icon.  You will see "PRE" written on the bottom of the editor.

3 - Now click on the "Source Code" icon, which is the {;} icon. A dialog box will pop up.  It will have ALL the code from your post

4 - The dialog box has some tag in it that say "pre". Insert your code BETWEEN the tags.

5 - The code is now entered.

Here is an example:

void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
} 

This is a bit awkward but it works!

Edited to add: Ok, I think I got it now. ? 

It would be nice to have  preview button in the text editor so I can see how it will post before posting it.  It's strange this forum didn't come with a preview button as a standard feature.  It's a nice forum package overall though.

I just left a blank line for my code in the message and then inserted the code with paste, highlighted the code part and clicked <> above the editor field.

Works a treat!
