Congratulations — you’ve completed the Bottango Basics course! 🎉

You’ve learned how to install Bottango, connect and configure servos, design animations, add interactivity, and even run projects without a computer.


✅ What You’ve Learned

Over this course, you’ve covered:

  • ✅ Installing and launching Bottango on your computer
  • ✅ Setting up supported boards like Arduino Uno or ESP32
  • ✅ Safely wiring and powering servos
  • ✅ Creating motion sequences with keyframes and easing
  • ✅ Triggering animations with keyboard, gamepad, or GPIO
  • ✅ Syncing motion to music and sound
  • ✅ Exporting for standalone Arduino Mode
  • ✅ Controlling servos in real time with a gamepad

That’s a solid foundation for any animatronic, robotics, or interactive art project!


💡 Project Ideas

Now that you know how to use Bottango, here are a few ideas to spark your creativity:

  • 🤖 A talking robot head that lip-syncs to voice or sound
  • 🎃 A Halloween prop that jumps when triggered by motion
  • 🦾 A mechanical hand or puppet controlled by joystick
  • 🎭 An animatronic face for cosplay or theater performances
  • 🎼 A servo-powered drum machine that plays along with music

🔗 Where to Go Next

  • Explore the Bottango documentation for advanced features
  • Join the community on Discord or Reddit to share your builds
  • Dive deeper into Arduino coding to expand interactivity
  • Try integrating sensors like ultrasonic, PIR, or capacitive touch

🚀 Remember: Bottango is just the beginning. Your creativity brings it to life!
