More progress on programming the microcontroller for the mouth. I completed the test coding. This is the self test I've mentioned before to put the servos through a full range of movement at different speeds.
I only need to finish the anger code (which will be easy because I can use the test code) and then set up a few pins to allow me to hook up a few buttons so that I can trigger the test or anger modes while wearing the outfit. I know the videos may not be exciting but it helps me mentally because it makes me prove my progress... :)
Things to watch for in the video...
At the beginning, the card is reset and you see the servo to both extremes rapidly (the servo is in middle of the shot, very small.) It then moves back and forth very slowly. You can see the signal controlling it on the screen. Also, a little hard to make out, there is one LED that stays on that indicates the test mode. The other blinks for the heartbeat. Halfway through the video when the card drops itself to normal mode, a different LED lights to show this. The LEDs will be not a visible part of the outfit but just used for diagnostics when something fails.
