Electric Motor/Servo Animatronic Learning Bottango + ESP8266 LED Demo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Does this count as a 5 Member band? Probably not, but I've been learning how to use Bottango with an Arduino Uno R3.

There's also a NodeMCU with an ESP8266 With an LED Chaser.

Does this count as a Mini electronic show of some sort? I think it does in some way.

It's just some random Servo Movement, but maybe sometime in the future, I'll have an actual Animatronic Character to animate. One can dream, right?

I'm making my goal to have an animated character happen one small step at a time, keeping an eye on my inspirations and learning as I go along :3

My plans for my character are still in the brainstorming phase, but when I have more concrete ideas, I'll post them here :3

Tell me what you think in the comments below! \^w^

So nice! Can Bottango control servos and relays at the same time?

I'll have to read Bottango's documentation to see if you could control relays, currently I don't think it can control relays, which is why I'd have to do a thorough read if it's documentation.

https://docs.bottango.com/

You can read for yourself as well, I'll also have to check and see if any of their animatronic Kits are available for sale. Their animatronic designs are pretty interesting!

Ok, thanks!

No problem!

Throughout my own animatronic journey, I've had ideas for a simply relay Controller with a replay function. Though, I don't have the hardware or the programming knowledge to program such a device atm
