[DIY] Animatronic Eyes
Posted August 11, 2011 by Chris
Ready for the next Animatronics Tutorial for robotics month? This week, we’re building Animatronic Eyes using an improvised 2-axis gimbal system. Realistic robotic eyes are difficult to build but this pair of eyes creates quite a decent illusion. Pico/Micro Hobby Servos are used as actuators and standard MDF board for building material.

Thank you for this great electronic experience but,
as far as I can program my PIC 18F452, none of my servo motors
are moving … I can test voltage on each of them but they do not move. The pic receives voltage on its ports, the led is up, the regulator is working fine.
What can I do to make the whole thing work ???
Thanks a lot for your response.

?t’s recommended to not mount TV up too high, avoiding this way the neck pains caused by muscles forcing. An n-port HDMI switch receives HDMI signals from n HDMI sources. The source and display will arbitrate for the best available format.
