wall-e tilting eyes?

Asked Aug 2011 — Edited Jan 2012

Hello,

I wanted to see if there is a way to place a servo (micro servo) in the the u command wall-e to make his eyes angle in and out.....i think the wall e does that out of box, gives the wall-e more "emotion". Is there a way to keep that "feature" while including the left right and up/down motions we already have?

thanks,

Carlos

Rad- I re-read your post, gotcha.

so the chain mechanism turns the neck left and right, the small servo with the "servo stretcher" moves the tilting in the eyes, its the up and down motion i will be missing out on.

if you look at the link of the ultimate wall-e tear down, that wall e has a motor in the middle of both eyes, with a fairly simple mechanism to make them tilt, if i can replicate that i wont need the mechanism inside the neck...... not sure if you caught that.....

ucommand wall-e = motor to tilt eyes, underneath neck, plus gers within the neck

ultimate wall-e ' motor in the middle of eyes plus simple "arms" to tilt eyes

thats where i think the micro servo will come in handy!

wdyt?

I am also interested in the mentioned pics & vids if you guys have time to post them, thanks! @hoolagen1: on 9/1 you posted a link for some teardown pics but it appears busted... can you check it and let me know if there is another link or ??? to look at the teardown pics? I also am just starting on a Wall-E and have the same desire you do to keep the head tilting. That's next and I am still trying to figure it out! Thanks!
