This week on ‘gadget’ we take a look at the ScanGaugeII from Linear Logic. This candy-bar sized device plugs into your vehicle’s diagnostic port and gives you all the stats and specs you can handle. — For the more experienced engineer, the ScanGaugeII can also be used to diagnose error codes, clear maintenence lights and even to send program codes to the onboard computer.

This was a prototype put together fairly quickly (robot frame and basic actuator mount in single weekend). All motion is driven by linear actuators. Hand and control electronics took a bit of time. Welded motorcycle chain fingers, one actuator driving tendons, control via H-bridges driven by Microchip PIC controller running a relatively simple sequence initiated externally with simple momentary switch.
I did not create this animatronics creature, it was done by someone I know.
