Halloween Robot

Halloween Robot controlled by an old wingman joystick.

I don't reccommend this for beginners with electronics only because some things like joysticks and power adapters are not all the same and must be modified. Additionally I provide programming code which will only be useful for particular stepper motors without modification.

**This is still unfinished, but Halloween is coming up so I'm going to publish it and add to it as I go**

Step 1 Materials

-Microcontroller (I'm using Attiny 261)
-Microcontroller programmer, AVRISP mkII or AVR Dragon recommended
-Joystick
-Power supply(s) (Old phone charger, over 5V will burn out uC, so I have one supply for the motors and one for the uC)
-Breadboard/ Protoboard
-Wire
-Digital multimeter
-Red LEDs
-(2) Motors (I'm using stepper motors)
The motors can be anything, but you'll have to do your own microcontroller coding to make them work unless they're 8 wired unipolar/ bipolar stepping motors. I would have used a regular DC motor, but don't want to deal with the feedback design work.
-2/3 yards of black fabric (or a black sheet but it will have to be starched probably)
-Empty Milk Jug
-2x4 piece of wood
-Black garbage bag
-Fog machine
