Some fixes and addons
🕑 Added 2024-10-09 19:29:24 +0000 UTCTime for some updates and fixes :)
1 - the skull - there is nothing wrong with the file I released , I have just noticed that some of us might have some problem reaching fully into the skull's jaw with our chin, so I made a version 2 of the jaw , something I simply call "longer" - it will allow for easier articulated movement. if you need to use it, use it , if not, just ignore it, but both versions are now in the folder :)
2 - the eye and the book code and functionality is now perfect - as I mentioned in the release the motion sensor did have some glitches. i am happy to say now that those are all solved. A huge THANK YOU to Stephane Beaulie for suggesting to power the servos not via arduino 5V pin on the board but individually from the battery and trying out some different delay's, and a super huge THANK YOU to my girlfriend Marta for finally solving the sensor's weird errors where it would randomly stop working and was making us crazy for the past few days. She pretty much fine tuned the code making it perfect and fully functional.
To recap - i used an extra "mini breadboard" to wire the servo's and sensor from the positive (+) output on the battery, so now the sensor and servo's are not run thru the 5V pin on the arduino board, but directly from the power source / battery that is also powering the arduino.
The "eye movement with sensor" code has been replaced in both Spellbook and the pumpkin folders, and I have also added the new schematics next to the old one to help you with new wiring.
For these projects it is better to use batteries, not the power bank !!! so keep that in mind
now that all this is solved, and the sensor is working perfectlly, i can move on to new stuff :D
i will be posting some more videos of everything in the following days , but just wanted to give you all the updates as soon as possible :)

any chance we could get a version of the skull where the teeth are separate? I’ve been asked if I can print a version with gold teeth.

so battery - switch - eerything else :)

same schematics, just solder one end of switch to positive and the other one to negative wire, everything else is identical as in the schematics :)

excuse my ignorance , how do i wire the on off switch on this version for the book

Thank you for the jaw extension!
