      Can you grab a variable from a joint like using a potentiometer?

      ```
      //This_Is_All(I)+=Know()About.Code;
      ```

        If you mean read the actual rotation of a body connected to a joint, no. Not in this version.

          //Maybe have a potentiometer or motor encoder joint in SPIV?

          Is there a way to take a servo's value in order to increase the servo on a key press?

          ```
          //This_Is_All(I)+=Know()About.Code;
          ```

            Yes.

            in servos controller (not tested)

            
            @myPos=0.0 if frame==0;@myPos+=0.1 if(key("up"));@myPos

              That particular script sends the servo into a progressive death spin, however the @myPos should prove very useful.

              ```
              //This_Is_All(I)+=Know()About.Code;
              ```
