Thread: My Beautiful Eyeball - I call her Ambly Oplia

Tweet

Hello All! I have finished a new prop that I have not seen done before (please correct me if I'm wrong). It is a large animated eyeball. It is 12" in diameter and only requires 2 servos to move it around. Right now, it just randomly moves (wanders) around ( why I call her Ambly Oplia). Pretty simple design. I use a large lighting globe and perch it on 4 plastic screws (no friction). I use the 2 servos to move her around. The servos are driven by a circuit board that I came up with to randomly move 2 servos between 2 setpoints. This is a down-shoot of my 3-axis random servo board that I use to drive the 2 GYS skulls (i.e., no computer!). The lighting is done using 2 RGB LED floodlights from www.christmasonmanor.com and another board I built to actually control the color changes. Let me know what you think!!!
