I used a lot of breakaway headers and hook-up wire to make all the connections to the Roboduino. There are plenty of Arduino Instructables here, I would reccomend reading through them if you are unfamiliar with them. The Roboduino can be bought from Curious Inventor for around $40, and the various Arduinos can be bought from around $30.

The Arduino microcontroller uses easy to use Arduino software that is simple to understand for novice programmers. I will be using a Roboduino, a modification of the popular Arduino microcontroller. Step 1: Electronics Pt 1: OverviewĪ “smart” animatronics project needs a brain – in this case, a programmable microcontroller. If you are one of those people who have nothing better to do than criticize other people’s Instructables, just close the screen.
Note: This turret was NOT designed to be very good at tracking and shooting – it’s more for show than functionality. This project require some experience with tools, electronic circuits, and maybe a little programming.
This instructable should help anyone wanting to do an animatronics project.
