    It's time for the Makers' Secret Santa. This year I'm making a giant animatronic robot Furby for very a special little boy. I used 3D printing, an Arduino and various other electronics, and brightly coloured fabric to make a 'Furby Surprise'. Makers this year are:

    Very interesting build! We’ve just embarked on building a giant Furby, but ours is going to be based on the 2005/6 version, rather than a Furby Boom, and will only be about half the size of yours. The 2005/6 was the only version with voice recognition & well be using a voice recognition module.

    Hey James, I just wanted to drop a "kudos" here for continually disclosing your sponsorships. There is that new hot 3D printing company that is obviously going around and supplying RUclipsrs with tons of equipment so that their printers stay in the spotlight with neither party disclosing the sponsored relationship and it is making the RUclips "maker" community feel scummy. It's ultra nice to come here and hear you be open and honest about your sponsors. Keep up the amazing work.

My thinking is to calculate pulses of x & y stepper driver every fixed interval and calculate its tangent and add up its values till one job completion . As you are an expert of this subject can you suggest to me if it will work or any other method i have to use.
