What it does
- Eye shapes are configurable: width, height, border radius, spacing, and a single-eye cyclops mode.
- Offers mood expressions (happy, tired, angry, default) and eye positions in eight cardinal directions plus center.
- Includes an autoblinker and an idle mode that repositions the eyes randomly, both with adjustable timing.
- Provides prebuilt animations such as confused, laugh and blink, plus horizontal and vertical flicker effects.
- Transitions between states are smooth, so complex animation sequences are straightforward to build.
- Installable through the Arduino IDE library manager, with example sketches included.

Robots that can run it
No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.
Robotheca lists software as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
