Hi All
I am looking for advice on suitable components to use in a sensor circuit.Let me explain!!
You know in those comedy horror films where a portrait hanging on a wall suddenly moves it's eyes when a person walks by? well that's what I want to create.You may ask why? the answer is just a bit of fun!!
I was thinking of either using a small motor system to move the eyes or a solenoid system.
My question is really about the sensing and how best to do this.With my basic level I would probably go out and purchase a couple of cheap ready built IR.sensors and place these external to the portrait in positions that would make the eyes move when someone walks by.I do think there are better solutions to this and one that I could keep integral to the frame of the portrait making it one workable unit.
Could any one help with suggestions on this.
Cheers!!!!! wombweller
