Devlog #4: it’s coming together…

Software:
The main coding thing in this devlog was figuring out how to make the alien actually look like it’s dancing instead of just moving in and out of the vent. I did this by routing the DFPlayer’s left DAC channel into the Arduino’s A0 pin and mapping those values to the servo motor. This worked better than I expected so now it can hit some moves
Hardware:
I reprinted the alien at finer quality and painted it. I also added LEDs for eyes which is wonderful

What’s next

I feel like this project is almost ready to ship which is very exciting! The only things to do are to clean up the wiring so it’s one cohesive unit and I am thinking of building a shadow box around the back with some RGB lighting. All in all, one or two more devlogs till we ship!!
Until next time…
