Best way to Control a Servo via Smartphone?

[Canon reeves]

So how hard is the programming on the Rasberry Pi? Would it be simple enough for me to learn within a few days? Would I be able to tell a servo how far to turn in the code? Thanks for the replies! With this we are not as worried about the cost as we are about the effectiveness. We want to make sure it works well every time. Also, does arduino have a good app programming interface? So that we could connect it to an app? and does anyone know of a good sensor for detecting vibration? And does the arduino shell shield work better for long range smartphones than the raspberry pi? Thanks!

What is needed to control a servo by an arduino uno? What breadboard do I buy if all I want is to power a cell shield and a servo?

You don't even really need a breadboard. You just need to hookup the +5V pin to the positive wire of the servo cable, the GND pin to the negative wire on the servo cable, and the signal wire to your chosen pin on the Arduino (Labelled ~ on the board).

EDIT: You'll also want to import the "Servo" Library in your code.
