Simple Animatronics with Servos and Arduino using arduino Servos are surprisingly easy to use. Even more so than simple DC motors and steppers when you have a microcontroller. In this instructable we’ll use a ‘duino to drive five servos which will control a doll’s limbs and neck. I bought the servos at HobbyPartz for a

So, long ago I had read about propane fire poofers. They’re pretty cool… I mean, who doesn’t love fire?! But, no matter how awesome, they could get pretty boring after a while of seeing the same large fireball. I never built one because I wanted something that would be exciting and thrilling every time I
Step 1: Check the materials you need. Below is the list of stuff you need to make it: 1. Arduino I used an Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V. You also need USB-Serial tether to program it. 2. A battery box I used a AA x 4 battery box with power line wires. 3. Breadborad I used

BOXZ is is an open source robot platform for interactive entertainment! We connected Arduino, Plexiglass(or cardboard) Origami and your idea together, so we can easily and quickly build a remote robot by ourself! You can assembled it like LEGO! We can use it to playing football game, racing, fighting or some other interesting things! Follow
