I want to sweep a 360 degree servo for 4 seconds to the right then delay for 5 seconds then sweep the servo to the left for 4 seconds then delay for 5 seconds then repeat till I send a stop command. I can move the servo but in the function node I don't know how to write the script.  
So I need a delay or seTimeout and a loop to do so. Thank you. Ron.

You don't give us much to go on here, but I would suggest you look at the trigger node.

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)

````auto
