An interactive butterfly for in your hair! contrechoc

Follow 61
A friend of mine wants to marry like a butterfly! So she asked me to make an
interactive butterfly on a hairpin, to put in it her hair. Is this possible, she asked? Of
course this is possible! The biggest problem in hardware was finding a small Bio: http://myfablab.wordpress.com/

servomotor, to be fitted on a hairpin.

M ore by contrechoc:
The other problem in software was programming the ATTINY45 with interrupt and
ADC converter (analog PIN) and PWM, for the servomotor. But since I have done
that for you (reading and combining codes of others on the internet) you can just
upload my code, and make variations.

Step 1: Components

Picture of Components
 components needed:

a hairpin! (just ask your girlfriend!)

butterfly (you can the ones on the picture at http://www.dealextreme.com/ )

servo motor ( the smaller the better, the smallest I found was at
http://iteadstudio.com/store/index.php?
main_page=product_info&cPath=23_26&products_id=404
(There are smaller ones, see the comments!)

ATTINY45 (8 PINS, yes SMD, you can by this at www.farnell.com )

3mm LED (or even smaller, in any electronics shop like www.conrad.com )
LDR ( Light dependent resistor, under a euro www.iteadstudio.com but to be bought
everywhere, nothing special)

one resistor of 4.7 kOhm, (small, for combining with the LDR)
some perspex, (for putting the butterfly above the servo motor)
some thread, (to get the movement from the servomotor to the wings)
some wire, for attaching the components
some PCB with copper you can cut with a knife, for mounting the ATTINY45 without
EAGLE (although you can do this properly too of course)
batteries (total around 3V), so no extra resistors for the LED's are required
some paint used for models, making the hairpin and components disappear in the
lush hair of the bride

Some components I had to buy especially for the butterfly were the glue and the
polyester thread. (glue 3 euro, thread 60 cents on a local market)
