Hi all,
I am trying to animated a action man type figure for head movement (side to side) and arm movement (up and down). I would like to be able to contain all the workings and electronics inside the body if possible but as of yet I am a little lost where to start.
Could anybody point me in the right direction in as how to tackle the mechanics and then the electronics.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris

Basically try to fit the larges servos you can into the space that you have available, which is probably not much in an action man body! I would direct drive the arms straight from the servo horn, and cable/link drive the head from a servo lower in the body. If it is just three micro/nano servos ( one for each arm, one for the head ) you may fit them in, but I doubt you will fit the receiver and battery in with them!?

Matt.
