When I put all together, a problem with motor noise re-emerged. I tired another filter cap on the LCD controller but it did't help.

Next I neede to try and get the lips to move more. Here are few shots inside the Monkey's head. Not great so you have to use your imagination. First a view into the head showing the screw attaching the servo mount to a flat plastic divider.

Next, below is a shot of the perf board connecting the eye LEDs with some limiting resistors to the I/O exteder

Finally a bad shot looking up under the plastic divider in an attempt to show the the servo. The white  wire bundle is the shrink wrap covering the Eye LED wires. Below them the servo wires.

I got the lips to move a little better but not as much as I wanted. That would have required disassembing the entire servo mount and redrilling. Think I'm done.
