This is going to be freaking amazing when it's done. How are you going to control the face? Via USB, programmed microcontrollers, or something else?

I will chain 3 = 24 servos
Mini SSCs can be chained together to control up to 255 servos.

The Mini SSC II is a fully assembled module that includes a convenient phone-style jack for serial hookup, Futaba-J servo output headers, a sync LED to indicate when valid data is received, and switchable servo range/resolution (90° range with 0.36° resolution, or up to 180° motion and 0.72° resolution).

Thanks GUYS
Gary

Thanks
Gary

your my hero

WOW, thats amazing.
So are you going to put it in the side of your case like before?

Well ,I did the skull movement with the servos. Only 3 servos, The jaw and the left and right move ,Up and down movement .
Testing how far of movement for jaw ......Dam ,I was surprised ,This thing could bite HARD. I could break the teeth .
Overall, I can control the speed L+R ,U+D easy ...Jaw. I can open wide and close 2 sec. Or I can open and close slow 2,3,4, mins.
I have 13 servos left to install... Maybe more.
