First of all let me say that I'm not a robotics expert. Just someone fooling about with a couple of servos, an Arduino and some programming. I have no idea if I'm wrong to file this in the Robotics category or if it should be somewhere else. If anyone can suggest a better category, feel free to let me know.

This little project incorporates 3D printing, RC servos, Arduino programming and Windows programming.

I used a couple of parts from Polymaker_3D's 'Eye Mechanism' Thing. I used the socket.STL and based my eyeballs on the Ball_11.9.STL from the same Thing. So, thanks to Polymaker_3D for that.

The eyes move in two dimensions so they can look up, down, left and right. The movement is driven by RC servos (details of which I used in the post print section) and is controlled by an Arduino Nano. The Arduino Nano is connected to a Windows PC and I've written a Windows ap
