If anyone is interested in building one and using the Tenda board, they only have 2 left in stock after I bought 3 more. Check them out at http://www.mdfly.com/index.php?main_...roducts_id=284

Looks excellent. Do you think this design could be incoporated into the 18M2? Or would it require a totally different set of components?

It will and I'm working on a design now that incorporates the 18M2. It will have 12 servo headers, power connections for LED eyes as well as the audio circuit. I'm hoping to be able to run two 3 axis skulls with 2 servos for eyes and have the audio circuit for the jaw movement. I've got it laid out on PEBBLE but still need to put it on a board to make sure it will fit like I think it will.
Fritz is working on streamlining the code so that we can have random head and eye movements.
If it works out as planned, we'll be able to run our 3 axis skulls without having to be tied to the computers.

That's brilliant! i'm building a witch and hope to have all of it (3 axis head, servo driven fingers, moving arm and talk) all controlled by the 18M2. Will be following this closely!

Here's the completed layout for using the Tenda board as the audio source -

I don't see why not Phil as I don't plan on any more changes to this board. If someone wants to use this with the audio boards from electronics123, they require an off board relay. I have that board designed and can pass it to anyone interested.

I'd appreciate a schematic for this. I'd like to build one myself. Thanks for all your efforts. I wish I had the ability to actually design stuff like this.

The Tenda boards are currently out of stock at mdfly. I'll try and watch and post when they have them back in stock.
