Creepy Simple Animatronic Skull Gardener

This is the Animatronic Skull Gardener for the Halloween 2017.
This year for Halloween, I have finally build the first operational prototype of my animatronic ! That's take me many time to build it and make instruction.

So, I will show you how to build this simple and cool animatronic.

What do you need ?

Tools:

-Electric drill

-Reciprocating saw (or a simple wood saw)

-Manual drill

-Screwdriver

-Hot glue gun

-Cutter

-Soldering iron

-an electric mower (for decoration)

Materials:

-Duct tape

-Newsprint

-Wood screws

-2 long screws (5cm length)

-2 flanged nuts (for the long screws)

-Tin wire

-4 wooden log (100cm length; 4cm diameter)

-A polystyrene plate (2cm thikness)

-Polystyrene skull head (same size of an human head)

-Wood planks (1cm thikness; 10cm width)

-Wood block (22cm length; 10cm width; 8cm thikness)

-PVC pipe (5cm diameter)

-6 iron bracket

-iron wire

-Pair of choose

-Pair of trousers

-Switshirt

Electronic Materials:

-Arduino Nano

-Servo motor:

Build the 2 arms

Build the 2 legs.

Start to build the body.

Finish to build the body.

Assemble the arms on the body.

Assemble the legs on the body.

Add the padding of the legs.

Add the padding of the arms.

Add the 2 red leds to the head

Build the neck.

Assemble the head on the neck.

Assemble the head on the body.

The arduino software:

#include Servo servo1;

const int movedsensor = A4;

const int relay1 = 6;

const int relay2 = 8;

const int eyes = 4;

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(relay1, OUTPUT);

pinMode(relys2, OUTPUT); pinMode(eyes, OUTPUT);

pinMode(movedsensor, INPUT);

servo1.attach(12);

servo1.write(90);

digitalWrite(relay1, HIGH);

digitalWrite(relay2, HIGH);

delay(500);

}

void loop() {

int a = analogRead(movedsensor);

Serial.println(a);

if(a >= 400){

servo1.write(180);

digitalWrite(relay1, LOW);

digitalWrite(relay2, LOW);

digitalWrite(eyes, HIGH);

delay(3000);

servo1.write(90);

digitalWrite(relay1, HIGH);

digitalWrite(relay2, HIGH);

digitalWrite(eyes, LOW);

delay(5500);

}

}

Well... it's finnaly done !
