I wrote a bit of code to move the head randomly, but beyond that, I am using the Arduino IDE examples for the SRF-05 and LCD. (Ping library and the LiquidCrystal library if you are interested.  There is nothing inside but some wiring and a single pot for the LCD contrast.

I think that's it, like I said, I have no idea what I am going to do with him, maybe add a Dagu Compound Eye and have him follow my hand around...

Keeps one company, I suppose
