How to Make an OwlBot: The Bird Intimidator - Part 6 (Section II): PCB Circuit Build

⬇️⬇️⬇️ INFO FOR PROJECT IN DESCRIPTION ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This is Part 6 (Section II) of a series of tutorials on how to build an OwlBot.

In this project we’re going to be performing the next step of what will eventually be the OwlBot. The OwlBot will be a device (robot/animatronic) that can be used as a bird intimidation tool to scare away pesky birds in the yard, around the house or barn, at restaurants, or in trees, bushes, and gardens. Hence, the phrase, “The Bird Intimidator”.

For this part of the project build, we're finally putting components from the breadboard to the PCB. In Section II, we're creating the daughter board to the Arduino shield-board we made in Section I. The daughter board will hold all the components used to control the solenoids and DC motor for the OwlBot.

In Section III, of Part 6 (the next video), we'll continue our process of creating our own wire connectors and add switching for each of the two power supplies we're using for the circuitry of the OwlBot. We should have all the electronics working and ready to go, after that - ready for testing and to finally be placed inside our owl figure.
