This is really cool, Rod! I find these kind of projects extremely fun and interesting, and am trying to start building one myself (very early stages). I've got a few questions, if I may. First - How did you learn to code the movement of the project using the Arduino? Are there any guides or courses that you would recommend? And also, would it be possible to make a remote control the project from a distance, not being attached to it at all?
Thanks. I code was the nunchuck code online and added arduino servo code to it. Simple :-) I copied the tentacle off a Stan Winston school tutorial. www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/animatronic-tentacle-mechanism-basics There are wireless remote servo modules on ebay to make it simple.
May I ask, what material is used for the flexible pillar in the center? I am working on making a robot similar to the one in this video. I will be very grateful if you can tell me.
Hi, The cable in the center is the middle of a speedometer cable from a car/bike. It's flexible but doesn't twist. You can get them on ebay, amazon etc.
very neat! well done

@@bones99999 Thank you very much, it helped me a lot😁
Amazing! How can I calculate the torque for the servos to move the cables and the tentacle well?
Not sure. Unless.you can find a servo that can provide torque.
Or design your own that can.
AMAZING! Where can I buy the cables? what cables did you use?
The centre cable is a speedometer cable.
As it is flexible but won't twist.
The other 4 cables are just bicycle brake cables.
Would it be possible to upscale this and make it portable?
To a point the the weight makes not work properly
i would love to know how you did this
Basically this www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/animatronic-tentacle-mechanism-basics
and a few servos, Arduino, wii nun chuck and some code
i have a costume design that something like this would be perfect for
