Can I control the degree of a servo with an arduino?

Can I control the degree of a servo with an arduino? If I can how many servos could i control with one arduino mega. Additionally how would i set this up? Any ideas?

I'm not really familiar with Arduinos, but I know for a fact that one of these babies could handle about 8 servos at a time. Maybe you should check out the arduino's specification sheets. Hmmm... You could connect a potentiometer to the ADC port of the arduino, then connect the PWM port of the arduino to the servo motor.

There's a servo library for Arduino as well that make this pretty trivial.

Also, there are plenty of shields that create the 3 pin "servo" connection you need for power, ground, and drive signal.
