Hi everybody! Here's my first video in a series showing how I create my animatronics!
This video covers how the skeleton pirates move (all of their servos and electronics) and everything inside the control box that I use for many of my animatronic projects.
Part 2! • How To Animatronics! ~...
PARTS LIST: Watch the stream here! • Parts and Questions - ... )
8/5/20 FIX: In the video, I connected the power to VL but that will not drive your servos on the SSC32u. You need to connect power to VS1 instead of VL. VL is meant to power the logic (processor) not the servos. More info about the board can be found here: www.lynxmotion.com/images/data...

Skeleton: amzn.to/2XTLRZY
***Electronics***
_______Servos_________
(Stock rotation and direction works fine for this project)
Shoulder servo (HS-425BB) : www.servocity.com/hs-425bb
Jaw servo (HS-65HB) : www.servocity.com/hs-65hb-servo
*Edit: in the video I showed an HS-65MG for the jaw but I've recently started using the HS-65HB. It's quieter and slightly cheaper than the MG and I think it works just as well.*

A nice box to put the electronics in: amzn.to/31LjRsF

**EDIT 10/29/2020: These go out-of-stock often. They are exclusive to Servo City (so you won't find them for sale by anyone else) and I don't know of any other similar alternatives. If they aren't available, you can sign up to be notified for when they go back in stock.

Standoffs: amzn.to/31P4L5h
These are some cheaper standoffs from amazon. But any kind of standoff will do. You just want something to keep your electronics off of the surface they're mounted to.

Jaw to receiving board: amzn.to/31Fw4io
Sending boards to controller board: amzn.to/2XY5iRz

____Shoulder Parts_____
Here's a nice bundle of all the parts you need: amzn.to/30ROP2Z
_____Jaw Connectors____
Cutting and bending a paper clip to attach the jaw to the servo horn would probably be cheaper, faster, and easier than using a connector. It won't be as durable, but it might be good enough.
But if you want to use the connectors that I used you can find them here...

And the bracket used to hold the servos to the back of the skeleton is homemade. There are probably some pre-made brackets out there that can work as well.
Here is the metal I used to make the bracket: www.homedepot.com/p/M-D-Build...
