Project 1 : Toy Hacking

The purpose of this project is to combine all the techniques which we learned from the previous classes

The main goal of the toy need to be
1. Control by the microcontroller
2. Need to have some forms of input from user to toy
3. Using software to control the general movement of the toy


Here is my toy










For the toy, I am using a PC with a serial port connect to the microcontroller to control the movment of the toy
I also make the sounder connect to the microcontroller so I can play the music


With the serial input mode of the microcontroller, I am able to send a letter to the microcontroller and it can response the input with a certain action that I programed such as playing a music with action of the toy at the same time
I can also seperate the movement so the toy can either just play the music or just have some kind of action


Unfortuentely, the toy I have has two motoer, but for some reason the motor that controls the body movement does not work
So, I am only able to control the mouth movement, which is open or close


I also add one song that is not build-in in the microcontroller
