Animatronic Eye

thingiverse

Eye that can look around when it is controlled by two knobs or via a webserver over a usb connection. More at:http://makerjohn.com/animatronic-eye/ Instructions Major Parts: 2 potentiometers, 2 small servos, an arduino and an old sock. The eyeball is molded out of shapelock plastic. I used hot glue to attach the eyeball and the two servos. The bottom servo is mounted on blocks of wood. The servo wires are connected to power/ground and two PWM pins on the arduino. The two pots are connected to two analog input pins on the arduino with power and ground connected to the remaining pot pins. For all the printed parts I used two shells and 30% fill. I have attached the arduino source code. The python webserver is in a zip file(contains script + html/javascript/etc). It uses twisted matrix and pySerial.
