Arduino Wireless Animatronic Hand

Step 4The Hand!

The Hand!

Materials:
electrical wire tubes (http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Animatronics-robotic-hand/)
fishing tackle
electrical tape
LEGOS
5 servos
xbee w/ shield
arduino ATMEGA 328
exact o knife

This took the longest to build...

1. I researched hands and found a diagram where the joints are.
2. I then cut the joints with the exacto knife
3. I put all the fingers together without the thumb.
4. i put the four fingers together and reinforced them with legos
5. i taped the securely and put the thumb over those so it would have human like flex.
6. i taped the servos together filling the spaces with Styrofoam
7. i added all 5 servos to the hand with legos and tape
8. I built the circuit on a breadboard with just delivering power the servos and having the control wires into the Digital input on the arduino
9. i ran fishing tackle from the finger tip through the tube and anchored it onto the servo
