Today i have primarily been working on redesigning the eye mechanism for my animatronic, the drive belt system may produce to much friction and make the whole animatronic move, and i want to keep vibration and sound down to a minimum so i purchased some ball and socket joints off ebay to go into the back of the eyes, and as long as i can match the socket up perfectly with the center on the eye it should give me a perfect 360 pivot point. the eyes will then be moved left to right and up and down by a system of spring loaded wires attached to a pair of servos. I have also come to realise that a secondary interface board will be needed this board is designed to fit up 6 servos where as the standard uno and new xl models only supply a pair of servo interfaces.
I have also been working on building my portfolio and because this year I am determined to take on board what was said last year, i have decided that like last year my portfolio will be in a html format, but with a new theme and more user interaction.
