For this project you'll need:

Power source:

MicroController:
Arduino pro micro 5v/16MHz

Components:

1. Servo

Follow the scheme and put together the circuit.

After you finish putting together the circuit, connect your Arduino to your computer and upload the code.

Now it is time to 3D print the manatee. Follow the printing steps and instructions here.

You can also download the STL zip file directly from this step and start printing.

Place the battery and the PCB into place, connect the body parts with screws, and you're done!

Place the manatee at your doorway or anywhere else, and it will flap its wings when it detects movement.
