I know this may be a little out dated but I have been reading over this post trying to build my sons future Halloween costume. The information here is top notch and I really appreciate someone taking the time to do this. I'm a total noob to electronics and programming so any help would be appreciated.
First, my helmet is 3D printed with all the hinges already attached. I currently have it hooked up to a breadboard and Arduino UNO with two push buttons. I'm using a single Servo design which works perfectly.
Second, I have tried to use the schematic at the beginning of this post with the supplied code but I have had no luck.
Below is the layout I am using on my board and I've tried to mimic the schematic as best as possible. I'm also using the latest code on this thread. I know it has 2 servos on it and I only have one. I'm assuming that's not an issue. My main goal is to get this working first before I move onto adding the LED strips I'll be using. I just want to make sure my code and schematic is right first.
What I'm using:
MG 995 Servo
Operating Speed : 0.17sec / 60 degrees (4.8V no load) & 0.13sec / 60 degrees (6.0V no load)
Stall Torque : 13 kg-cm at 4.8V & 15kg-cm at 6V
Operation Voltage : 4.8 - 7.2Volts
Gear Type: All Metal Gears
Color: Black
Item size: 40 * 19 * 43mm
LM7805 VRegulator
2 - 10uf non-polarized capacitors
2 - NPN Transistors
220k ohm Resistors
2 - White 3.0V -3.2V LED's
I did notice one thing though. The schematic is using a "Internal Pull-up" button. Not sure what that is. I'm using the standard buttons out of my electronics kit.
