Project description

Open-Source Animatronic Puppet Control System with Distributed Network Nodes A Linux-based system brings puppets to life by synchronizing servo movements with audio. ESP32 network nodes with W5500 Ethernet enable scalable, real-time control of hundreds of servos and relays across distributed installations. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. Project Background and Technical Goals This project was initiated to solve a fundamental challenge in animatronics: synchronizing complex servo movements with audio output to bring puppet characters to life. Traditional animatronic systems require expensive…
