My helmet's off to you!<br /><br />Give me a week or so and I'll see if I can dig out my R2D2 schematics and code and post them up here. RC transmitter will work a lot better than TV remote - more range and no pesky line-of-sight issues.<br /><br />One big piece of advice... learn to make your own Arduino's, especially using the Atmel ATTiny chips... huge space and cost savers if you do! I can make an Arduino Uno clone for about $8 or so, even less for an ATTiny version if I don't need all those I/O pins on the Uno.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546092099328742995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945150600511933426.post-76439305496534269922014-06-06T17:21:23.224-07:002014-06-06T17:21:23.224-07:00Hi Darren,
Great job on your R2 D2 robot arduino m...Hi Darren,<br />Great job on your R2 D2 robot arduino mods. I picked up a broken R2 D2 robot, originally I was going to try using an arduino and a tv remote to control my R2 D2 robot. Then I came across your video using a RC transmitter. I was impressed with your idea of using a RC TX to control your robot. Would you be willing to share how you hacked your R2 D2 in more detail? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (I am just beginning to work with electronic's and the arduino)<br />I ordered an arduino, prototyping shield and a H bridge from Banggood.com Thus far I added to my robot: LED's and a cloned apple mp3 player for sound. Thanks<br />*Darren, we have a couple of things in common. I had black lab named "onyx" and I owned a Kawasaki KLR 650 (riding in NYC is enough of adventure for me!)<br />Best, Pierce<br />ijavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12924377516564388199noreply@blogger.com
