readMicroseconds()
Examples 
#include "Servo.h"

int myled = 0;
Servo myservo;

void setup() {
  pinMode(myled, OUTPUT);
  // set off the LED
  digitalWrite(myled, LOW); 
  // attaches a servo connected to pin 2 
  myservo.attach(2);
}

void loop() {
  // sets the servo position at 90 degrees
  myservo.writeMicroseconds(1494);  

  // if servo position is greater than 90 degrees 
  if (myservo.readMicroseconds() >= 1494)   
  { 
    // turn on the LED 
    digitalWrite(myled, HIGH);
  }
}
