EASY HALLOWEEN ANIMATRONIC MASK - MOVING EYES

Turn a 3D printed Halloween mask into a simple animatronic project.

This project uses two small 9g servos and an ESP32-C3 Mini to control two moving eyes.

The system is designed to be simple, inexpensive and easy to build.

FEATURES - 3D printed Halloween mask - 2 x 9g micro servos - ESP32-C3 Mini - ESP32-C3 Mini expansion board - Two independently controlled moving eyes - 5 different eye animations - Automatic animation sequence - Each animation lasts approximately 5 to 6 seconds - USB cable or battery power - Easy to modify and customize - Suitable for Halloween, cosplay, robotics and animatronics

REQUIRED COMPONENTS

ELECTRONICS

1 x ESP32-C3 Mini 1 x ESP32-C3 Mini expansion board 2 x 9g micro servos 1 x 5V power supply

OTHER

3D printed mask 3D printed eye components Servo mounting hardware Wires Optional glue or epoxy

SERVO CONNECTIONS

SERVO 1 - LEFT EYE

Signal: GPIO 2 VCC: 5V GND: GND

SERVO 2 - RIGHT EYE

Signal: GPIO 3 VCC: 5V GND: GND

IMPORTANT

The servos should be powered from a suitable 5V power supply.

Do not power both servos from the 3.3V output of the ESP32.

If using an external 5V power supply, connect the power supply GND to the ESP32 GND.

The ESP32 and the servos must share a common ground.

ANIMATIONS

ANIMATION 1 - FAST SYNCHRONIZED MOVEMENT

Both eyes move together from side to side at relatively high speed.

ANIMATION 2 - SLOW SYNCHRONIZED MOVEMENT

Both eyes move together from side to side at a slower speed.

ANIMATION 3 - OPPOSITE MOVEMENT

The two eyes move in opposite directions.

One eye moves right while the other moves left, then they reverse direction.

ANIMATION 4 - ALTERNATING MOVEMENT

One eye moves while the other stays approximately centered. Then they switch.
