    Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your whole project. This was my first time trying to put something together like this, total noob. You didn’t release this video yet, but me trying over and over, soldering wires, spending all this money for new tools, and your instructions which was included was perfect. I finished 4 days ago and I’m going to give it to my nephew for Christmas. Can’t wait for more projects! Thanks again!!!

    Thanks so much for this video. It was super helpful and I just got to the last step of it working finally this morning!
    I found it difficult to follow from the video so I ended up breaking it down into written steps from this, hope my notes help others:
    0:14 - cut the LED eyes cables
    0:17 - peel and clip the tips - maybe 2 inches?
    How long to measure wires? : Long enough to go from your eyes to your neck, over the top of the head. You can measure inside the helmet
    Wow, didn't notice that the eyes splice 2 wires into 1!
    0:32 - twist wires to eye piece (4) times)
    0:40 - solder wire joins
    0:52 insulate the joints
    1:20 solder the power switch to 2 green wires, same length
    1:30 insulate the power switch
    1:40 red / green / black wires for dimmer
    1:50 solder / insulate dimmer switch?
    2:00 Label servos
    2:20 cut servo cables - 2 and 4 inches, guessing?
    2:40 fuse wires to servoes
    2:45 insulate servoes
    2:50 snip battery
    2:52 2 inch black wire?
    2:53 get dimmer (red / green / black)
    2:55 twist black battery to black dimmer and black servo
    3:05 solder 3 blacks to 2 inch black
    3:09 2 2 inch reds
    3:15 "X" branch 2 2 inch reds to servo red, so wire extends AND doubles back on self?
    3:24 solder / insulate red and black
    3:30: connect batttery red to left (1 or 3) on slide switch) with insulation first
    3:39: add extra insulation to red X cross and connect to 2/3 slide switch
    3:50 solder and insulate 2 reds to slide
    3:56 eyes (red/black) and power switch (green / green)
    4:00 3 inch black wire cut?
    4:06 twist 3" black with green+black
    4:08 soldier and insulate
    4:10 wires to arduino
    4:22 RED: D6, GREEN:D2, BLACK:GND (top)
    4:32 RED from slide switch to VIN (bottom left)
    4:38 BLACK from battery to GND (bottom left)
    5:00 solder rest of wires as per wiring diagram (video skims past this)
    5:10 test power!

    Thank you, this has been my project for the past month, almost got it together, working on the adruino part think my wire connections are decent (new to soldering) and the code loaded up from the pdf I turn it on and the switch activated servos then bounces back, and can’t get switch to activate it again unless I power off and on again…. Think that by typing this out it’s gotta be the switch either getting stuck or the wires are getting crossed at the nano…

    I’m really enjoying this build so far, so excited to get it finished! Done all the wiring today and uploaded the script onto the Arduino. It works great plugged into the laptop, but just won’t work from the batteries. The batteries are new (although cheap, so will try good brand ones tomorrow) but just wondered if there’s maybe something I’ve done wrong? The Arduino lights up when the power switch is on.

    • @BoxandLoop
      @BoxandLoop  Před 3 lety

When switching to battery power (using good ones), the lights won't turn on and the servos behave "strange". Slowing down the servo speed from 190 to 100 didn't help. Could I use a little power bank on the USB port? Or isn't that possible?

    • @BoxandLoop

      I'm not sure if on/off would work. The trigger needs to send a signal for a fraction of a second to work with current code. You'd need to change the code for on/off.
      As long as power bank has regulated supply around 5v then it should work just fine.

    Hello! Question. Like many in the comments, the setup is only working with Arduino power not AAA power. When plugged into my computer, everything works but my servos buzz pretty bad at the open and close position. Any remedy for that issue? I’m using tower pro MG90S metal gear servos. In order to solve the starving servo issue, how should I rewire this set up to a USB bank?
