                             // to the servo channel 0
}

void loop() {
  myservo.writeMicroseconds(1494);  // sets the servo position at 90 degrees
  if(myservo.readMicroseconds() >= 1494)   // if servo position is greater than 90 degrees 
  { 
    digitalWrite(myled, HIGH);  // turn on the LED 
  }
