Doctor Who pinball moving Dalek

For those with a doctor who pinball: I made the Dalek move with a servo. This can be moved with an arduino and hooked up to the pinball, so that it moves like Bally intended it to move.

See it move here: https://youtu.be/ovQI1cAGlCM

And… a more recent video here: 

I also animated 164 RGB LEDS: https://youtu.be/O5r6QLXKCbk

The patterns of animated LEDS can be conveneintly edited in Excel and with a button click transfered to the Dalek (it uses MQTT over Wifi, so no wires).

The patterns are stored as text files on the ESP D1 mini's flash memory and can also be exchanged via WiFi (OTA).

The files here, represent just the mount for the plastic original Dalek that holds the servo. It uses a cheap MG90S servo.

-edit 12-feb-2022 - Uploaded servohorn.stl with hole to easier screw it to the servo arm. Dril a hole, or reprint.

-edit- 28-mar-2022 - To prevent the head from moving, I made the servohorn (and nuts and headmount) hexagonal instead of round. I also added a bracket, that I used to hold a connections PCB between pinball and Dalek.

-edit- 23-apr-2022 - Arduino code, instructions, command explanation, soldering instructions building the Dalek servo interface, how to hook up to the Williams pinball are now on my github: https://github.com/ruedli/DoctorWhoDalek
