(seems my eyeball balls are a bit smaller than Sam’s version; guess I should have ordered the 5 cent “Professional Table Tennis Ball For Ping Pong Competition” balls instead of the 3 cent “Beer Pong Balls Balls Ping Pong Drinking Practice Balls” balls ).
Now where did I put my hacked-together servo test controller…
This looks nice! Any chance you will publish the STL-files? And what about the controlling software? Are you planning on letting the eye follow a person watching it around (or is that not a camera in the hole below the eye)?
(I’ll leave it to @lookmumnocomputer to decide if he wants to publish these STLs also for non-Patreons, or post them to Thingiverse or something.) EDIT: The STL files can be found via this page.
As for controlling things, I’ll probably just use some simple 555 CV-to-servo controllers for now (if I could only find them).
awesome!!! looking good! yeah I’m going to do a vid on these for tomorrow. so ill share them and also a 3d printed eye, which isn’t as good as a pingpong ball but there is people want it!
I’ve put the thing together easily since i have experience in 3d printing, but not any in arduino uno. might anybody have some code for it by chance? coding isn’t my expertise. Thank you!
I don’t think there’s any standard code for the eye, but it’s not hard to find servo libraries for Arduino; their main library page points to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Servo and that page also links to some code samples.
I don’t own a printer and was wondering if I could get someone with a printer to make a couple of these brackets for me . I would cover costs , shipping etc. PM me if you are interested .
Here (Germany) some public libraries have 3d printers now. I always wanted to check how that works exactly when you go there, but never found the time…
the covid thing kinda puts a damper on that , plus I have no idea how they work . but that is a good idea there is one close by and I could e-mail them hell it would be a good reason to join the club and maybe learn how it works .
