ANIMATRONIC ESB YODA

[Jason_E]

I finally had an opportunity to program and finish off the animatronic yoda robot project.

Movements include neck up/down/left/right, eyes up/down/left/right, mouth, blink, and ears.

The eye placement and movement is perfect. You really captured the yoda look.

Hi Fett,

The servos are connected to control board which is hooked up to a pc. The software that we are using allows you to time out each of the servos movements to a sound wave.

There is a great, cost effective servo control solutions that you can get from various suppliers on the web. We are using a software package from Brookshire which works with a mini ssc servo control board.

Hope this helps.
