# Animatronic Fizzgig MonsterM4sk Puppet ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzH8KiDcEBo&feature=youtu.be Create a growling, barking Fizzgig puppet with a moving mouth and LCD animated eyes. He's fierce and fancy, with sound effects and movement, and he's surprisingly easy to build. The Monster M4sk board does all the work. Installing software is as easy as copying and pasting a few files. Then, plug in a servo, speaker, and hook up a trigger button, and you'll be growling at passers-by and protecting all the Gelflings in no time. This is a great build to do with kids since most of the work is in building the craft-foam mouth and getting his hair just right. Set him up to guard your Halloween candy bowl, or wear him like a stole. Everyone needs their own animatronic Fizzgig. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/082/761/medium800/robotics___cnc_fizzgig.jpg?1571766447) ## Parts ### Part: Monster M4sk quantity: 1 Adafruit Monster M4sk [Monster M4sk](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4343) ### Part: Acrylic Lens Holders quantity: 1 Clear Acrylics and Hardware Kit [Acrylic Lens Holders](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4330) ### Part: JST 9-Pin Cable quantity: 1 Connector Cable (Optional) for Separating the Eyes [JST 9-Pin Cable](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4350) ### Part: Lens quantity: 2 Convex Plastic Lens [Lens](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3917) ### Part: Servo quantity: 1 Micro Servo with 3-pin JST Connector [Servo](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4326) ### Part: 3-PIn Connector quantity: 1 Connector for the trigger button [3-PIn Connector](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3893) ### Part: Button quantity: 1 Tactile Switch Button [Button](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1119) ### Part: Breadboard quantity: 1 Half-sized Breadboard (if you don't want to solder the button) [Breadboard](https://www.adafruit.com/product/64) ### Part: Battery quantity: 1 If you want him mobile!
