This is the first demonstration of the FluxGarage Robo Eyes Library that can be used to draw fluidly animated robot eyes to an OLED display with an Arduino or a compatible microcontroller.
The eyes are drawn based on the Adafruit GFX library's graphics primitives, such as rounded rectangles and triangles. The eyes' geometry, as well as their positions and mood expressions can simply be changed through a set of generic variables and several methods. Also, there's a bunch of "macro animations" like laughing (shaking vertically) or confused (shaking horizontally). All state changes are tweened, resulting in flicker free, smoothly animated eyes.
The code is written with a non blokcing approach in mind, meaning without using delay();
The creation of the FluxGarage Robo Eyes Library is my first step within a larger project: creating a DIY robot from the perspective of a designer.
