Hi there!The base took a really long time but not that much, maybe you can change the infill rate to 5% or so, I made a test and with ABS 1.75mm, 0.2mm layerheight and 5% infill would take about 36 hours.The head (Cabeza) doesn't need any support.

What exactly?

Thank you! :)

Well I havent thought about it... but thats actually a very good idea, thank you!

Guess what! haha

Hi, Actually... I didn't design a place for the speakUp, it was ment to be at bottom with the arduino and an external microphone would be at the bottom of the screen but that didn't work very well because of the eco, as you can see int the videos I ended up making a small hole on the face and puting the microphone out of twinky like an horn or something haha The two slashes ment to be before the int, like this://int Menable = 13;This line is not necessary though...You can just erase it or leave it without the //It was for turning off the L293D but I didnt use it at the end.And yes! I made that sketch from scratch, It could look a bit complicated but is just a lot of separated functions, when the sketch is running inside the arduino it makes like a Zig-Zag among all the different functon...

I'm a student of photonics engineering, the study of light but I still have a long way to go

haha no, not at all, thank you for the sugestion, AliExpress takes about 2 months to bring me anthing to México :s But already found it in adafruit and dfrobot, it will be on my next shopping cart, I'll let you know if I made something interesting with it and Twinky

1. Right! I totaly forgot the microphones pins on the schematic! Sorry, they are connected to A0 and A1.2. I added some comments to the Arduino Sketch, you should be able to download it now with the updates, there you can see the declarations of the SpeakUp input pins(The good ones... haha)You are right...My mistake! haha again... the schematic is wrong, I will change itThe M1 and M2 variables are for the motor only. you can change this pins if suited you, all depends of where you place all the modules on the shield, just dont forget to change it in the sketchSorry for the mistakes and thank you for the questions, you are helping me me to improve the instructable.

Actually I was searching about it, and yeah, I saw that it is compatible with the arduino, it is not too common here in Mexico, my usual suppliers do not even have them but sure, I'll give it a try.

ohh no no, dont worry I'm happy to answer all of your questions and helping you to make a twinkys brother/sister(?) 1. Yes Arduino Mega 2562. Yes, SpeakUp Click 15343. Yes, RTC DS13074. Yes, Bluetooth HC065. My relay module is 10A but pretty much anny realy will work fine, as long as it activates with 5V6. Yes, Audio amplifier, the module says that is 5 to 12v but the amplifier specs says is 5 to 30V or something... but will need a bigger disipator7. Speaker ok, make sure that the speakers seals with the enclosure this improves a lot the sound quality8. Motor ok9. Yes, digital microphones10. Yes, Nextion-nx4827T04311. Yes12. Yes, or you can use 3 LEDs instead, I'm not using analog write for them so the 3 colors ar connected to digital outputs, you can improve this using the PWM outputs ...

Yes, or you can use 3 LEDs instead, I'm not using analog write for them so the 3 colors ar connected to digital outputs, you can improve this using the PWM outputs of the arduino Mega and make a lot of different colors, this is optional.13. Yes an Arduino mega shield, the Capacitors are just connected between 5V and GND there is not much reason to use them, I wasn't planing to make my own power supply but with the ones of the PW supply should be enough. The resistor (I think it was 470ohm) is connected between the output signal of the DTH and VCC but I ended up disconnecting it because it gave me problems to read the signal, in my protoboard worked fine but once soldered the arduino sended an DTH error message sometimes. Try it with the resistor first.14. DTH1115. I'll attach an imageDont forget about the L239D motor controller, the current of the arduino output is not enugh to move the whole body, it is really easy to connect, since is just one motor you only need to connect one side.I didn't add a pictire but you need a 12V transformer or any other 12AC source mine is 12V 1.5AThe SpeakUp click has Tx and Rx pins also SPI comm but I couldnt find information about it, so the easiest way to do it is with parallel from IO1 to IO6

Wow! Very interesting! 🤔 I think I’ll try it soon... this is a topic that kept the sleep away from me some times

Sure, that could be an option, I knew about it but I've never used one before.Maybe for another project like this, but the truth is that I feel really comfortable with Arduino and their platform.One of my initial toughts was make it functional without the internet connection and thats what I made but yes! could be an interesting way to improve it.I’ll search more about it,thanks for you comment!

You are talking about the schematic right? This is a reference picture of how you should connect every module. I know, it is a bit too simple but I think you'll get the idea about the 8 Pin conncetor representing the arduino IO pins.Also... the pin numbers of the shcematic are wrong, I made it in about 15 min so I didn't change this labels but if you ignore them and just connect them like if you where on the top vew, it should work.Try to add one module at the time, test it, and then add the next, that worked for me, and you will be less frustrated finding whats wrong if something is not working.

Thank you for your comment! And you are absolutely right! Use one old Laptop it was one of my original ideas, in order to add some image processing and some harder tasks.My electronics engeneering friends always are making jokes because I always use Open Source products and over all the Arduino, but as you said, I'm trying to show what you can do using just an Arduino as the main processor. And I will add more to this project, the memory of the Arduino is at 48%, I wonder what can I do with the other 52%...

Wow! You have some design there! I could use some of that too, I really like the movement of the head.But I have to tell you, 3D printing it wasn't my first option I wanted it to make it fluffy like a teddy bear or something and make it dance...But maybe in the next version.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

I updated the instructable, adding an other step with a simple schematic.Tell me if you have any other questions!

thank you for your nice comments!

Your welcome! As you can see it is very easy!

That could be an option but... what would you use the arduino for? Maybe I can add the bluetooth and control the music commands from there (Play, Stop, Next... ), but I wouldnt send the audio from my phone, for this you can use basicly any bluetooth audio module.

I'm glad you like it, I’m using it to make my arduino respond to me when I use a voice command, but thats a topic for another instructable, I'll upload it it soon

Thank you! Haha (a bit late...)

sorry for the late response, Yes, that could be an option but if you make it with a recycled pallet then you cant change too much the measurements but instead just adapt it, you can make it the size you want! Mine ended up a little bit small but very comfy.
