I am making a mechanical sculpture that requires two servos and arms, able to move up and down through 90°. They will move independently through programmed sequences made up of "ups" and "downs", and I need to be able to add new sequences whenever through a program. Perhaps I will be able to program the sequences in through a physical controller like a knob for each arm, and they remember and repeat the sequence.

I have no experience in electronics or coding at all, although I am very practically capable, I can solder and am a good mechanical engineer. I just need to know where to start looking for information. Basically asking for a roadmap.

I know in robotics terms this is extremely simple. There are no sensors or multiple servos. Just 2 straight small arms with 1 servo each. All the tutorials I've found are for much more complex builds and include sensors, logic, Arduinos or whatever, which is more complex than I need to learn. Is there some kind of microcontroller that would suffice? Best way to program it for a beginner? Is it best to program such motions in terms of degrees of rotation? Ideally all the electronics would fit into a small box wthin the sculpture and it would be chargeable or plug into a wall. Thanks for any pointers to resources.

>inb4 spoonfeed me

I can figure it out myself once I have a vague idea of what a reasonable starting place would be. I just don't know what's possible, whether I need to buy one of those arduino things or if there are mini versions or whatever. Just an idea of where to look to get into very simple control circuits and programming would be appreciated. There are 10 million electronics and robotics blogs.

If you're willing to get started with something small like the Arduino Nano, then try here OP:
