Hello!
I recently built a scale model of the Jurassic Park Entrance gates but when I was getting ready to finally be done with it I had the thought I could add a servo or two in order to make the doors automatic.
In researching this I decided, well, why don't I add a soundboard and some mini speakers to the project so I can play the theme song and maybe some quotes from the flick!
Which brings me here. Throughout my research I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for and being somewhat of a novice I'm hesitant to buy a bunch of hardware and just start tinkering.
Would anyone happen to have any suggestions/advice for running a soundboard, one (or two) speakers, and two micro servos?
I have a pretty tight space to work in which is why I was looking into Adafruit products because they are small but I have never used servos before. I kind of assume I would need an Arduino board as means for running/programming them. Below are the links to some of the hardware I'm considering using in case that helps.
Speakers
Soundboard
Sub Micro Servo
I've also been stuck on the best way to power all of these things. Normally I use either a AAA or AA battery pack, but with this addition of the servos and the Arduino I don't know what that will do for the power. Adafruit offers a few different lithium Ion battery packs that would help with containment and recharging, but I should walk before I run haha
Any insight at all would be helpful!
