Controlling automaton eyeballs using Arduino based servo


Controlling automaton eyeballs using Arduino based servo
Originally uploaded by rosemarybeetle

Have successfully attached a mini servo to the eyeballs of my prototype automaton and it more or less works. Despite being piddly little motors running off USB 5V, they deliver surprising amounts of torque - enough to power left and right motion. The only unexpected side effect was that the servo weight affects the position due to the undamped eyeball sockets
A satisfying weekends work though :)
