Motion activated "Attack Creeper"

Step 4: I've created a monster

Now if you make your own motion activated "Attack Creeper" you'll find the real fun is hiding in places around the house your roommates and/or significant other would not expect it.

Here's a montage of the little guy working. He's just so adorable I could explode.






And since someone might be interested in my terribly mashed up code here's the code I used to run the thing. I used the example code for the PIR sensor and Wave Shield both available on adafruit.com to create this mostly functional code. Use at your own risk!

Nice instructable! I repurposed your code for my own project. I tried other sketches that did similar things but all failed to compile. Yours compiled without a hitch.

My question is do you know how to get a random wave function working with your sketch?

I've tried random seed but it fails to compile. Maybe I'm missing something or using it wrong.

hey, nice job dude but i think this could be sooo much better. add a louder sssssss noise, make the colors so that the holes blend with the black on the skin, make the actual feet shapes and have the wheels have longer joints(?), and finally make the car go a little slower. these are just constructive ideas

Or better yet, make it say. Thatssss a very nice everything you have there..... It would be a shame if something were to happen to it...

what if it followed the "intruder" until it got close enough to explode? hmmm

That could be done if you included a camera and coded it to follow an object set up servos to turn the controller so does follow the person, after it gets within 2 feet of the camera it activates the explosion and stops moving. to add effect it could have a small confetti cannon on its head thats hidden and when the explode sound goes off it will shoot the confetti.

That would be so AWSOME
