R5-D4 Eyes

thingiverse

I used Adafruit NeoPixels to light up my R5-D4 eyes, and the video shows a simple strand test. When I complete the Arduino sketch, I'll have different moods and events for the eyes - Happy, Sad, Surprised, Angry, Scanning, etc. I designed the mounts for the NeoPixels using Fusion 360 and ordered 6mm and 10mm glass cabochons from Amazon for the lenses. The main eyes each have a door peephole device, and the dome is a Mr. Baddeley design.
