Story
In short, I took a Mark Rober class on Monthly- this is the second build of the month and my first Electrical Build.

I tried putting something simple together in two days, the idea came up and as a horror fan I said why not?
Recently I watched the Evil dead series on Netflix and the movies that came beforehand, so as a homage came up with this.
- I took the poster from Evil Dead 2, glued it on a cardboard and framed it.
- Cut out the eyes part from the cardboard so that they could move back and forth.
- Used an ultrasonic sensor to tell if someone is near which made the servo motor move the eyes making them look at you and move back to place.
- Powered everything with 9V battery.
As it’s my first time with code and Arduino, I didn’t write anything, but I combined two separate codes that I found to make the motor and sensor work, and made the eyes the way I wanted- which for the first time is a success for me in terms of coding. This Project was 2 years ago and I've attached all the the files I still had.
Came out really cool at the end. Here’s a video from behind the picture- https://youtu.be/SAbEmRehnos
