Help with Arduino via Serial

I have an Arduino that I use to move some servos. The Arduino has the following code:

#include<Servo.h>

//Creamos los objetos servo
Servo servo;
Servo servo2;
Servo servo3;
Servo servo4;

int enviado; //Aqui enviamos el numero completo
int num; //Numero del servo
int posicion; //Posicion del servo

void setup()
{
  //Inicializamos los Servos
  servo.attach(9);
  servo2.attach(10);
  servo3.attach(11);
  servo4.attach(6);

  //Inicializamos la comunicacion por Serial
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  if(Serial.available() >= 1)
  {
    /*
    1- Leer un numero entero por serial
    2- Calculamos su modulo por 10 (sera el numero del motor)
    3- Dividir el entero inicial por 10
    4- Lo que quede, sera la posicion del motor
    */
    enviado = Serial.parseInt();
    num = enviado%10;
    enviado = enviado/10;
    posicion = enviado;

    //Hora de mover los servos!
    if(num == 1)
    {
      servo.write(posicion);
    }
    else if(num == 2)
    {
      servo2.write(posicion);
    }
    else if(num == 3)
    {
      servo3.write(posicion);
    }
    else if(num == 4)
    {
      servo4.write(posicion);
    }
  }

}

The problem I have is that when I send the necessary information so that the servo that I want to move to where I want there is a delay between which I pulse the between and the servo moves.

I do not know if the Arduino is slow to calculate what I'm sending him to know what he should do or if I'm doing something wrong.

The problem you suffer is because the function Serial.parseInt() waits to receive a delimiter character that ends the whole number or wait for the end of the maximum waiting time set by default to 1 second in Serial.SetTimeout() :

Parsing stops when no characters have been read for a configurable time-out value, or a non-digit is read

Which means:

The analysis ends when characters have not been read for a configurable time, or a non-digit character is read

So when you press a number the function waits for you to send something that ends the number (for example, a return of the car, a space or any delimiter). Otherwise wait for 1000 ms until the input of the whole number is finished.

I recommend sending a delimiter along with the number through the serial port. This way you will avoid the problem you are suffering in this other question .
