Animatronic pianist wolf with 7 motions

i wanted to make a animatronic with the most complete starter kit uno r3 6 extra servos a 16 x 12-bit pwm servo shield and i would love to get some help making it like making the servos move with music ect

Have you hooked everything together and tried to make the servos move?

well im not very good at coding and i dont know where and how put the wires in

I suggest you learn the basics then.

how could i ?

It sounds like you're on the very first steps of a very long journey to get where you want to be. Here's a few places to get you thinking.

thanks i for sure will buy or look more into it i was looking for a video of some sort like this thanks for the help goodnight

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

should i try making simple code with seven buttons to firstly test and make it then i will figure out how to make the servos move with a song?

A million years ago I worked for Chuck E. Cheeze in the factory where they made the animatronics (1). (A fun place to work!!!) They were all run from solenoid-controlled air cylinders. It was rather crude, and you can't control the actuation speed with software, but the linear motion is probably better than servo motors, which are "angle motors" that rotate less than 180 degrees.

Stepper motors MAY work better. They have infinite rotation and you can use a screw-drive or belts & pulleys to get linear motion. (A screw drive might be too slow). The downside is, steppers need a driver and at-least one "home sensor", whereas the driver circuit and position sensing are built-into a servo.

(1) I'm not sure if they have animatronics anymore. The original company went bankrupt, most locations closed and somebody bought the left-over naming rights.

i only have one stepper motor and i was thinking of trying to maybe use pneumatics and such but first i wanted to try using servos

i made a servo move with a joystick and what if i used buttons to move the servos?

the servo wires mean brown wire means gnd red means vservo and yellow means servo control signal line the arduino part i dont understand

but why do i need to know this?

also i have lack of motivation so im thinking about just giving up because sometimes i dont understand withot a clear way of understanding and i have a question if i made a servo move this a button i now for a fact i have to copy the code and name the first servo servo1 ect but i dont understand where i connect the wires correctly?

yeah im just trying to type fast and i didnt read it through also my first launguage

wait i forgot to type the rest also my first launguage isnt english so i dont write very well
