did you create any type of schematic for this? or just wired up the bird depending on wire they were? did you have to create any code for the movements?
I bought one to use with a 3 axis skull for a skit to use in my Tiki bar/room. This scared the heck out of me. Thought it might be a simple approach. I can see now it's going to take some knowhow and luck. lol
The beak/eye blink are on the same motor. You can't have it do both at the same time. You have to change polarity on the motor to change it's direction of rotation. One direction for the beak, the other direction for the eye blink.
How would you rig the blue and purple wires for the mouth to also blink the eyes with the Picoboo controller? Not sure how to reverse the polarity of the wires when I want Squawkers to blink haha
How did you do the eye and mouth at the same time? I had to make the eye move with a fish string pulled by an exrernal motor, or ill try using the motion of a wing that pulls the string.
The motor that runs the mouth also runs the eyes, reverse the voltage on the mouth motor and it will blink the eyes, I used two relays for this to swap the +/- to the motor, Blue/Purple wires from the main circuit board.
You can just trade it to anyone here, we don't use the voice of the toy anyway so we wouldn't mind the language. I already peeled off mine but someone else will do without a problem.
Would love an additional video on your eye/mouth wiring relay setup.
You sir, are my hero.

That was the same way I hacked my squawkers bird. Too bad you didn't ask about the beak/eye control motor ... could have saved you a couple hours. LOL
I’m about to start this same project... any code/advice would be welcome!!!
Hi. Do you know how to make it talk and blink? Thanks
