One thing I forgot to mention: To connect to your arduino, download the 'arduino IDE' software from the Arduino website, and under tools>manage libraries>search 'Adafruit PWM' and click install! That should get you everything you need

I like the compactness of the mech. But...I think it could share an up down servo, because when will the Eyes look in opposing direction. 😎

Nice

It’s possible to scale the eye up. I would like to make a single big eye, about the size of a small fist.

Hi, I am thinking about upscaling the eyeballs for a FNAF head. From my understanding of this video, I could probably use the same wire linkages if I reposition the servos right? I am thinking for the 2 eyelid servos I'll just position it to the most right limit of the eyeballs since the linkages are hooked to the side of the right side of the eyelids, but I might have to move up slightly upwards/downwards depending on where the holes are after upsizing the eyelids. I should be able to reposition the x-axis servo towards the left limit since it's hooked to the left side of the eye, but for the y-axis servo I should keep it centered since it's hooked in the center of the eyeball, right? Not sure if what I said made any sense, but hopefully you can visualize what I said and point out any misconceptions on my part before I try and print everything out. I'd probably just print the original out first and get it working before repurposing it for bigger eyes. Thanks anyway for your detailed tutorial!

Hello, fantastic video, the link in the description unfortunately does not work. Could you send the correct one? Regards

Too bad, then its just another 3d file that i have to print. When it was a kit it was something to look into, but most people dont own a 3d printer that is capable of tight tolerances as this ex-kit has.

Yeah, its tough to find a printer. That's actually why I'm not offering them as a kit right now. I just moved across the country (again) and had to leave my old printer behind. Until I find a new one, it will stay digital only. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey i bought acces to the 3d files and its awsome! The one thing im going to complain about is that the pivot that attaches the frame to the eye is really weak, other then that its good! Also you said buttons are optional how do i control the eyes from my computer

@JohnStrope

I agree, V2 should be coming soon with new improvements. You can control via button, joystick, software, or any sensory input. Really it's more to demonstrate that an action can be triggered by whatever you like!

Mükemmel 👍

Do you sell these already finished? I don't have a 3D printer.

Hi John! this project looks so interesting for all of us that are looking for a solution that doesn't take so much space side ways. How deep is it in cm? I checked out your etsy page, but the price to europe doesn't make it a viable option unfortunately. If you would consider putting the stl files out there I would be very interested without a doubt. Take care and keep it up!!

Thanks for looking! It’s a little less than 8cm in depth. I’m working on getting better shipping options for Europe, but it’s a slow process. I am considering releasing the stl files. Currently the project is also a charity fundraiser, so I will probably do that once the charity drive ends near the end of January(?)

Could you tell me how to get them? Do we need to buy on Esty? Thanks again for your wonderful project and kind sharing!

I got everything running all the way through the lookXY and Lookblink functions using the buttons. However, when i use the expressioncycler, nothing happens. Do i need to do something to get the file to work once uploaded? the other files were dependent on button presses, but this should just run, right? The other issue i ran into is that the Arduino uplugged from the computer loses power. does this project require two power supplies? one for the PWM board and one for the Arduino?

Hey john i dont know if youll see this but when i plug the servos to the board they wont move at all and i doubled checked my wirings. any possible solutions for this?

Is there a way i can do these tests from the computer rather than wiring up buttons on a bread board?

Can you buy it all together already

What kind of power supply did you use to run the 8 servos? Had no issues running 4, but when I hooked up 8 it killed my power supply. And the power supply is rated at 5 amps 5vdc. The load should not have exceeded 8x250ma or 2 amps.

@JohnStrope

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Mark. Gosh, there's no way this thing should pull past 5amps. I normally power everything from a 5V 3A power supply, which is more than enough. Even when all motors are moving at once (which shouldn't really happen), I've hooked it up to a scope and see a max peak load of around 550mA. Maybe there's resistance on the motor causing the current to spike? But like you said, even then it should never exceed 2A total. That's really odd. Could be a supply issue? Any ideas?
