Interactive skull

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

Step 1: Materials

- A plastic skull

- 8 screws;

- Microcontroller (I used an Arduino board);

- A Protoboard

- A nunchuck (for nintendo wii control) with a adaptador

Note: I bought the adapter but can be easily made by following this step by step: http://www.instructables.com/id/Wii-Nunchuck-Adapter/

- Mini servos (initially, I use 2. An eye and another to the jaw);

- Batteries (attached to the computer, use the power from usb);

- Drill, various drills, a metal rod of about 20cm, glue, bits of wire, etc ...

its hard to help. So lets try something: data from nunchuck are appearing for you?
Search here: http://todbot.com/blog/2008/02/18/wiichuck-wii-nunchuck-adapter-available/.
First try to make the data appear. Then tell me what happened.

Thanks! i tried this sketch on my arduinoUNO, all the wires are connected as well...but it doesn't work!! any suggest? When Arduino it's powered the servos make a small movement...and no more!

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

[PeckLauros]

Tambem gostei. Ainda mais que eu ja tinha tudo aqui em casa e não precisei comprar nada. O movimento do acelerômetro está no software. Basta colocar o servo da mandíbula ou dos olhos lá no pino 10. Também fica bem legal.

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.

Hi I bought here in Brazil, in a collection about the human body. But any other skull plastic could be used, with little modifications.

Legal, vou copiar e fazer com controle remoto. muito legal. parabens
