R5-D4 Eyes

thingiverse

https://youtu.be/53ITSdmS0Xk I used Adafruit NeoPixels to light up my R5-D4 eyes. The video shows a simple strand test. when I complete the Arduino sketch, I'll have different moods and events for the eyes (Happy, Sad, Surprised, Angry, Scanning, etc). I used Fusion 360 to design the mounts for the NeoPixels and got 6 and 10 mm glass cabochons from Amazon for the lenses. The main eyes each have a door peephole device. The dome is a Mr. Baddeley design.
