Programming different modes of servo channel blending between eyes and neck

I’m trying to free up my second joystick to control an electric wheelchair, which currently controls the neck.

Now I have a 3 position switch changing blend modes from none, searching, and locked.

With the blending, I was able to move neck controls to 2 knobs on the Radiolink AT10ii and still keep the movements looking fluid.

Now to dress up this wheelchair, choo choo!

Little Timmy is Dangerous

I made this because I wanted to play around with receiving and using the serial stream from a popular RC remote receiver. Then I got… A little bit of scope creep. Everything is controlled by an ESP 32. The power wheels has variable speed, the steering wheel is controlled by the remote... and then I got kind of weird.
