- So, when you get your Servo out of the box,
you basically get a Servo and you get a Servo horn.
This is the one that comes with this JR Servo,
and it's the one we designed around.
So, we need either these little connectors
that you can also buy at a hobby shop.
I'm using the little mini EZ connectors.
They're about the smallest ones I've been able to find.
And you basically just put it through one of those holes,
and it comes with this little,
it's almost like a little plastic pressure washer
that goes on the back.
And you need to put it in there,
and it's a little hard to get in there at first,
but once it's in, it's pretty much locked in.
So, once we get that on,
this piece is gonna go right on there.
I'll just roughly place it,
but it'll need to be adjusted at the end.
We'll roughly place it in there
with this parallel to the servo horn.
Then you just snug it up and now you have that attached.
We'll go ahead and adjust that a little later.
But we do that with all our servos,
and then we can go ahead and drop them right
into our mechanism.
Now, what I did here,
you notice they're a little different.
You can cut all of these extra ones off it if matters.
Just to get it a little tighter.
We're not using any of these,
but if anything should break,
you can always switch over to another one.
So, it's really a personal preference
whether you chop off the excess or leave 'em in there.
All right, so now we're just gonna add some
screws and lock the servos in place.
These don't need to be super tight.
Just snug them up and give them,
once they're snug, just give them a little tiny bit more.
So, now that we have the servos in place,
we can go ahead and mount our eyelids.
Basically, we start by putting the inner screw,
and we drop them both into that screw.
Then, while it's in place, we go ahead
and put the outer screw in there.
And just keep putting the screw in,
making sure it doesn't
stick out on the inside.
Just gonna back it up a little bit.
And there we go, now we have a set of eyelids.
And these guys could be popped into their
little ball link.
So, now that we have both eyes assembled with servos,
we can go ahead and drop the eyeball in there.
It won't fit, but there's just enough stretch
for it to go, just pop inside.
What we do is we wiggle around,
it looks like it has just a little bit
too much gap right in this area here.
So, you could do it by measuring,
or you could just eyeball it.
(cymbal)
Basically, readjusting the height of this ball here
to try to get the ball on center
between these two lids.
Right now, you can tell it's way too low,
just from the gap.
So, we're gonna rotate this counterclockwise
to bring the ball a little higher.
Open it up and test it again.
That seems much better.
All right, that's looking pretty good.
We can always make more adjustments later.
But for now, it seems right.
We're gonna go ahead and drop it on our stand
just so we have a place to work.
