Kyle pointed me to Adafruits Animated Snake Eyes. The software can be used withot any extra hardware. I had a spare Raspberry Pi 2, so I installed it. Pretty cool. Depending on your choises during installation, you can get either a single eye, or two.

 

 

 

Software / instructions available here; https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-snake-eyes-bonnet-for-raspberry-pi/software-installation

It can be configured to use an external pot to change where it's tooking, and also change the size of the iris,

I got a package from Adafruit today...  some assembly required but I will soon have some new eyes for Junior... of course I will have to make them look way more robot like before they get installed in Junior's new head... I really need to start cropping these photos when I send them from my phone...
