// Use 'gmail_daemon' inconjunction for a physical mail notification system

// Macros
#include <Servo.h>
#define ServoPin 9 // The pin that the servo is connected to

// Variables
int msgs = 0; // Number of messages unread


//Setup Servo
Servo myservo;

//Initial Setup
void setup() {
  pinMode(ServoPin, OUTPUT);
  myservo.write(90); // Down position
  myservo.attach(ServoPin);
  Serial.begin(9600);

}

//Loop
 
  if (Serial.available() > 0) { // Waiting to read from serial, if the buffer > 0 BYTES then execute code below
    int msgs = Serial.read();
    if (msgs == 1) {
      myservo.write(0);  // Up position
    }  
    else if (msgs == 0){
      myservo.write(90); // Down position
    }
  }
