I'm extremely green at programing and need some direction. I currently have built a prop skeleton that will narrate a scene in my garage this halloween. I'm using a scary terry set up for the vocal end but also want the head to turn at certain points in the narration. I will be using a prop 1 controller, pir to trigger and a RC4 for lighting effects. I also will be using an existing picoboo from last year to handle the narration to trigger the scary terry driver. I have completed the mechanical end and now need to write the code for the head movements. I have no idea how to do this and need a slight push to get the light bulb to flash.

you could probably use the prop-1 to activate the picoboo when you want. so the sound and the head movements are the same if it has a trigger option, by connecting it to outx to ground  would act like a switch

theres allot of stuff in this link for the prop-1 including the servo movements

hope this helps
