#include <Servo.h> // import servo control functions
Servo myservo1;
Servo myservo2;

int currentValue = 0;
int targetValue = 0;
int angleValue = 50;

void setup() {
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
  //Serial.begin(9600);
   myservo1.attach(9);
   myservo2.attach(10);
}

void loop() {
  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  //CALCULATE THE FINAL ANGLE
  targetValue = digitalRead(5)*angleValue + digitalRead(6)*angleValue + digitalRead(7)*angleValue + 20;

  /*
  if(digitalRead(5)==HIGH) {
   targetValue = 90;
  } else if(digitalRead(5)==LOW) {
   targetValue = 0;
  }
  */

  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  //DECIDE + OR -
  if(currentValue<targetValue) {
   currentValue = currentValue + 1;
  } else if(currentValue>targetValue) {
   currentValue = currentValue - 1;
  }

  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  //CHECK VALUE
// Serial.println(currentValue);

  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  //SEND VALUE TO MOTOR
  myservo1.write(currentValue);
  myservo2.write(170-currentValue);

  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  //MAKE IT NOT TOO FAST
  delay(50);
}

But there is some problem that two motor can not start at the same time. It could be the problem of motor because when it is close to 0 or 179 degree, it is not accurate. We will try to use program to control it since we have already built everything.

Scenario for Sound Luna

Scenario:

Venue: Harbour City, TST, Hong Kong

Scenario 1:
-Installation of 6nos. Sound Luna stand.
-Located down the aisle of Harbour City open air pier walkway.
-Act as monumental artistic structures, with size up to 6 metres height to cause an impact

Scenario 2:
-Operation instructions will be provide on the Sound Luna stand.
-Sound Luna provides a smart phone wifi/bluetooth synchronization function.
-An LCD screen will be installed on the stand for the view of playlist.
-Pedestrians can download an app to sync their selected music video onto Sound Luna.
-Audio and video will be played on Sound Luna, with integrated sound system and The Wing projector will play the visuals.
-The playlist will be put into queues and when your selected music video is being favored by pedestrians (with LIKE function), the music video will be repeated.
