The Arduino will only run one loop but what you can do is have it poll the temp and adjust the fins and once its finished it can scan the room. Just set a delay of like 100 between the 2 and it should work. Let me see if I can work up a code real quick.

You could do something like this with servo #2 being the one the eye is attached to.

I'll have to hook up a second servo and try that out. should be neat thanks! +rep
:edit: gotta spread some rep first lol

I just edited the code.

I'll have to mess around with that tonight! still hoping I hear from the waterjet guy today so I can get some work done this weekend!

msn chat? I don't have it but I can install it on my temporary (read components resting on top of a carboard box) basement comp

I just got off the phone with Tom over @ HydroCutter and he said he's still doing the production run he had before me, and the machine had developed a leak that he had to fix, so he's hoping to have my parts done for Tuesday-ish (fingers crossed)

That sucks but at least you can have fun deving with arduino.
