Midterm- Diego the Dragon

So for the midterm I decided to create a basic animatronic head with moving light up eyes. It's supposed to serve as an interactive head with eyes you can control by controlling the light value with the photocell.


Issues encountered:

Plenty of issues were encountered while creating Diego. A speaker was implemented, but doesn't like to work for some reason. Sounds were meant to be controlled by the buttons on the microbit, but the A button seems to control one of the eye LEDS despite not being in the coding. The eyes were also a pain to control with just one servo and the metal wire contraption created for it doesn't seem to work too well. Also, I had no way to cut the metal so I separated pieces out by twisting and bending them until they snapped.
