antisocial cat_prototype 006 code iteration

So, yeah, I figured out what the problems were and finally made the servo work as the way I want! Hooray!
When the toy detects me (using sensor), it would turn its head and stay at that position until it detects me again and turns its head.

prototype 006 code iteration from maze on Vimeo.

And here is the code:

-----------------------------------------------------------

#include <Servo.h>


Servo myservo; //create servo object to control a servo
int sensor = 0;  // analog pin used to connect the sensor
int motorPin=11;
int val;    // variable to read the value from the analog pin
boolean status=0; //status of detecting
int counter=0;




void setup()
{
  myservo.attach(11);
  myservo.setMaximumPulse(2200);
 
  Serial.begin(9600);           // set up Serial library at 9600 bps
  pinMode(sensor, INPUT);
  //pinMode(relay, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
  myservo.setMaximumPulse(2000);
  myservo.setMinimumPulse(700);


  Serial.print("Ready\n");
}//end of setup


int getSensor() {
  val = analogRead(sensor);            // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023)
  val = map(val, 0, 1023, 0, 179);     // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)

  val=max(val,5);
  val=min(val,180);

  return val;
} //end of getSensor


void myRefresh(int delayTime){
  for(int i=0; i < delayTime/20; i++){ //delay is the total ms delay we want, 20 is the delay per iteration of the loop 
      Servo::refresh(); 
      delay(20);
  }
}

int move0(){
  Serial.print("servo position 0\n");
  myservo.write(0);
  //Servo::refresh();
  myRefresh(100);
}//end of move0

int move90(){
  Serial.print("servo position 90\n");
  myservo.write(90);
  //Servo::refresh();
  myRefresh(100);
}//end of move90

int move180(){
  Serial.print("servo position 180\n");
  myservo.write(180);
  //Servo::refresh();
  myRefresh(100);
}//end of move180

void loop()
{
    val=getSensor();
    Serial.println(val);
   
   
    if (val>20){
      if(status==0){
         move180();
         myRefresh(1000);                           // waits for the servo to get there
         counter++;
      }

      else if(status==1){
        move0();
        myRefresh(1000);
        counter++;
      }//end of else

    }//end of if
   
    if(counter%2!=0){
      status=1;
    }else{
    status=0;
    }

    //myservo.write(getSensor());
    //Serial.println(getSensor());
    //delay(15);

  Servo::refresh();
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I defined a function myRefresh() to make sure the servo would be refreshed every 20ms.
Then I added 3 moving functions with different angles.
The tricky part was that how to make servo stop and turn to reverse direction when the sensor detects someone again. By using 2 variables counter and status, I made servo turn to position 180 when the counter is even and turn to position 0 when it is odd.

In this week, I'll try to put the prototype that I have so far into the body of my plush prototype.
The focus of the testing this week will be:
- redesign the character for prototyping (make it big enough to put all my electronics)
- building/ sewing the plush toy
- make the toy's head move! Think about materials, the skeleton, connections... etc.
