Some people just don't have any manners.People trying to help and they want it solved in 1 go. I have been working on this helmet on and off for a few month's. I haven't got it ready yet.
I read this thread a couple of times to learn and find answers before asking for help. You might want to try it.

xl97 Hi, I'm using your code and schematic. I can't get the servo's to stop buzing. I have tried everything I can think of. Maybe I'm overlooking something but I can not figure out what.
All grounds connected together.
Drive servo's,led's and arduino from 7.2V Battery pack with voltage regulator(output is a stable 5v)
Adjusted the servo angle to minmal setting so the don't go over their limit.
Tried 3 different pairs of servo's,the last being hitec 82mg. All with the same results.
Here's the code:
// IronMan Helmet: eye blink sequence_v1.0
// created by: xl97
//import servo lib
#include <Servo.h>
//servo object names
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
Servo myservo1;
const int buttonPin = 2; // the pin that the pushbutton is attached to
int buttonState = 0; // current state of the button
int lastButtonState = 0; // previous state of the button
// led control pins (need to be PWM enabled pins for fading)
const int leftEye = 6; // the number of the left eye/pcb LEDs
const int rightEye = 3; // the number of the right eye/pcb LEDs
unsigned long fadeDelay = .5; //speed of the eye 'fade'
unsigned long callDelay = 700; //length to wait to start eye flicker after face plate comes down
unsigned long blinkSpeed = 100; //delay between init blink on/off
unsigned long currentPWM = 0;
boolean isOpen = true;

// Set up serial port
Serial.begin(9600);
//start it off
//state = S_BLINKON;

Serial.println(state);
