  • One thread to control the mouth
  • One thread to control RGB values of neopixel eyes
  • One thread to write data to arduino

Uses an Arduino with 2 neopixles and a servo.

  • The arduino is sent the data to move position and change eye color over the serial port.
  • The sequence of instructions is split by the arduino.
  • Serial commands are only sent when there is a change in instruction - to avoid overloading the serial buffer.
