Solar Powered Microcontroller Head
Posted June 22, 2011 by Chris
“This is a so called autonomous kinetic sculpture from the ‘famous’ CawtBot family. Partly made form scrap junk, partly from new pieces. based on the Atmel AtTiny26L microcontroller. It’s completeley autonomous because of solar power.” The article features many pictures of the ‘robot’ in action as well as a brief overview of how it works.
