Getting Started
1
Eyes. Connect LCD eyes via FPC cables — pins down, blue tab up. Don't force it.
2
Speaker. 4Ω 3W to screw terminals, or line out to powered speakers. Yes, it sounds that good.
3
Jaw servo (optional). Plug into jaw header. Brown/black wire toward board edge.
4
MicroSD. FAT32, up to 32GB. Put your WAVs in /audio/. See back for folder layout.
5
Power up. USB-C (5V) for testing, or 12–24V barrel jack for permanent installs.
6
Trigger (optional). Wire sensor between GND (pin 1) and IN (pin 3) on the trigger terminal. +5V (pin 2) is available for powered sensors like PIR.
7
Line-in (optional). 3.5mm audio input for live passthrough. Requires powered mic or preamp.
Power: USB-C or barrel jack — never both. Seriously. Pick one.
Jaw: Intentionally disabled on first boot. Go to Jaw menu, set your limits, save. Then it'll move.

Menu Map
Eyes ›
  • Eye Style — built-in + custom SD eyes
  • Flip L / Flip R — rotate 180°
  • Swap Eyes — L ↔ R
Audio ›
  • Voice Vol / BG Vol — 0–100%
  • BG Audio — ambient loops on/off
  • Shuffle — sequential or random
  • AutoPlay — auto-trigger when idle
  • Browse Audio — pick & preview files
Jaw ›
  • Open / Close — servo travel limits
  • Exaggeration — 100–200% movement
Top Level
  • Cooldown — re-trigger lockout (5–120s)
  • OLED Dim — screen auto-dim timeout
  • [Save & Exit] — or just long-press
How it works: Trigger fires → plays a WAV → jaw syncs to speech in real-time → cooldown → ready again. Line-in audio also drives the jaw for live puppeteering.
No programming required. No app. No WiFi. Just vibes and spooky skulls.
