The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

They stack. basically the whole setup is a three layer sandwich. search for it on adafruit.com.

I would also add that this is still a work in progress and I am having issues getting things to work properly.

OK, minor update. I worked with the alorium manufacturer and we identified a bug in their servo librar that was completely unknown to them until now. The board currently only has options for controlling 4 servos. I need about 10 for the final end game setup I am shooting for.

I am also still looking at porting things over to circuit python.

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... hon_VS1053

The components are there and this would also enable a direct plug-in for a raspberry pi which has a fair bit more oomph to function. The pi can directly play the audio so that would remove the vs1053 board in that setup, but I would have to figure out a low power auto shutdown sequence trigger as well. (The raspberry pi sdcards have a chance of corruption if improperly being shut down.) The more I improve the more complications I run into.
