I bought this skull to decorate my computer desk. However, analyzing better, I could do something more interesting.
I hope you enjoy.

Step 1Materials

- 8 screws;

- Microcontroller (I used an Arduino board);

Muito bom! Utilizar o wii-chuck ao invés de montar um controle foi uma boa sacada!

where did you get this particular skull from, it's very cool. I've got one of the halloween talking ones from a couple of years ago that I could probably convert over easily for this as it already has servos, hinged jaw, etc. but it doesn't look nearly as realistic as this one.
