what do i do next for my Meow Meow Costume?

1. Get Servo to move in an oscilate pattern.

:: This is what I look like













2. Use sharp IR rangefinder as motion sensor (GP2D120)


















:: output voltage dependant on the amount of IR light hitting the detector/corresponding to distance.

:: detecting distance from 4cm to 30cm.

:: examples of using it???

3. More to think about

:: how to place everything in costume to make it wearable and looks normal.

:: user test(very important).

:: keep drawing cute prototype and diagram.
