@Craig Caton-Largent In the last class, you setup the servo limits in the Maestro Control Center before starting up VSA. I then assume that these limits are recognized by VSA? I normally set my limits in the VSA software itself. Are you doing this to protect the servos/mechanisms from the initial power up of VSA ?
Yes, to both questions. I like setting the limits in the Maestro so the VSA can't muck with them on startup. That being said i have still seen the VSA software over riding the limits of the Maestro so be watchful! - Craig
Well, I just couldn't leave my Dragon Head alone! Was having issues with Version 4.0 VSA working with the Polulu board so I upgraded to V5 pro. Got everything working only after finding my servo power supply was under-powered, causing violent jittering during programming. Will be uploading a video later today.

Very excited to see this finished.

Independent eyelids installed.
Attached Ball Joints to lower jaw then attached to head.
Lower jaw installed and looking for a place to put the servo.
Movements completed so far: Eyes up/down left/right, independent left/right eye brows, Mouth (servo not installed).
I had to leave the class early - so do you have one or two servo's for the jaw?
For all the photos,lists and videos
They are going to be very helpful
You are welcome!

Here is Craig's response to your questions.
