It's easy!
The CircuitServo motors have three wires: power, ground, and signal. The power wire is typically red, and should be connected to the 5V pin on the Arduino board. The ground wire is typically black or brown and should be connected to a ground pin on the Arduino board. The signal pin is typically yellow, orange or white and should be connected to a digital pin on the Arduino board. Note that servos draw considerable power, so if you need to drive more than one or two, you'll probably need to power them from a separate supply (i.e. not the +5V pin on your Arduino). Be sure to connect the grounds of the Arduino and external power supply together.
The Code
First, include the servo library.
#include <Servo.h>
Then make a name for your servo something like s1 for servo 1.
Servo s1;
Next, in the void setup, say what pin it goes to.
s1.attach(9);
Lastly, whenever you want you can tell the servo to go wherever you want it to from 0 to 180.
s1.write(90);
