Congratulations — you’ve completed the Bottango Basics course! 🎉
You’ve learned how to install Bottango, connect and configure servos, design animations, add interactivity, and even run projects without a computer.
✅ What You’ve Learned
Over this course, you’ve covered:
- ✅ Installing and launching Bottango on your computer
- ✅ Setting up supported boards like Arduino Uno or ESP32
- ✅ Safely wiring and powering servos
- ✅ Creating motion sequences with keyframes and easing
- ✅ Triggering animations with keyboard, gamepad, or GPIO
- ✅ Syncing motion to music and sound
- ✅ Exporting for standalone Arduino Mode
- ✅ Controlling servos in real time with a gamepad
That’s a solid foundation for any animatronic, robotics, or interactive art project!
💡 Project Ideas
Now that you know how to use Bottango, here are a few ideas to spark your creativity:
- 🤖 A talking robot head that lip-syncs to voice or sound
- 🎃 A Halloween prop that jumps when triggered by motion
- 🦾 A mechanical hand or puppet controlled by joystick
- 🎭 An animatronic face for cosplay or theater performances
- 🎼 A servo-powered drum machine that plays along with music
🔗 Where to Go Next
- Explore the Bottango documentation for advanced features
- Join the community on Discord or Reddit to share your builds
