Step 1: Get a RoboHero

You Can Buy RoboHero from anywhere (amazon, Hobbico)

there a Build Your Own version or Full version.

Build Your Own version need 2-4 hours to finish~~

We don't need Head and Chest Part.

After you finished the RoboHero, use a acrylic paint on it.

Step 2: Install Led

Move the chest led to the head.

the orignal led is blue.

the new led is red and has two led.

use a drill and put led & wires from chest.

And, download the arduino source from RoboHero Github.

add a simple flash function, insert to the program where robot move the servo, the robot will flash the led when it moving.

void toggle_led( int at) {
  if ( (at % 10) != 0 ) {
  }
  rnd_led = random(0, 3) ;
  toggle_ret = (at / 10) ;
  
  if ( toggle_ret < 8 ) {
    if ( rnd_led == 1 ) {
      digitalWrite(LedPin, HIGH);
    }
    else if ( rnd_led == 2 ) {
      digitalWrite(LedPin, LOW);
    }
    else {
      // do not change the led XD
    }
  }
  else {
    digitalWrite(LedPin, LOW);
  }
