Video quality isn't great, but I took it with my iPhone. Better videos/pictures coming. There is one servo that wasn't attached and that goes on his belly to make him dance.
I actually can't take all the credit for him. Mark Z, from Lights on Display made one of these last year. I saw it an immediately knew I had to have it. The frame is from Valerie and the rest of the work I did.
Here is the wireless receiver and the DIO board. The wireless button will be located around the display for people to push. They will either allow the snowman to talk directly to you or to control some aspect of the lights. Again, all wirelessly. This whole unit (DIO board mounts nicely in a PC controller case) will be mounted inside the snowman.
Here the the actual wireless transmitter...exploded. The buttons will plug into the side of this and when they are pushed, send a signal to the receiver by the DIO board, thus triggering something.
